Someone to Sing Me to Sleep

I can carry mountains
Their weight I have know
To sink on my shoulders
sharp and burning stones

I have walked unbothered
grief binding my feet
crowning just another
wound that never bleeds

But in the deep falling
of this lone calling
I would bet all-in
For someone to sing me to sleep

I have held my sorrow
a million days on end
and time steals and borrows
but my knees won't bend

I’ve caved out the rain drops
from within the ground
and have fed the rivers
till my fear could drawn

But in the deep falling
of this lone calling
I would bet all-in
For someone to sing me to sleep

It’s a life of the darkest black
if the thread cannot be traced back
to the songs that were sang
for the love never bound
by the passing of time

But in the deep falling
of this lone calling
I would bet all-in
For someone to sing me to sleep
