Comfort

Deb Talan

When everyone has gone to sleep
And you are wide awake.
Theres no-one left to tell your troubles to.
Just an hour ago
You listened to their voices,
Wilting like a river over underground.
And the light from downstairs
Came up soft like daybreak,
Dimly like the heartache of a lonely child.

And if you can't remember
a better time,
You can have mine, little one.

In days to come,
When your heart feels undone;
May you always find an open hand
And take comfort wherever you can, you can, you can.

And oh, It's a strange place
And oh, everyone with a different face.
But just like you thought when you stopped here to linger,
We're only as seperate as your little fingers.

So cry, why not?
We all do.
Then turn to the one you love.
And smile a smile that lights up all the room.
And follow your dreams,
in through every out door..
It seems thats what we're here for.

And when you can't remember
A better time,
You can have mine. little one.

In days to come,
When your heart feels undone;
May you always find an open hand.
And take comfort, there is comfort.
Take comfort wherever you can, you can, you can..
