Slip Off in the Dark

I lose sight of you
As you slip off in the dark
Follow to your room
On a gently curving arc
Everything you do
Like arrows through the heart
That got me through
When you held me in the car
Red on your window
Waking you up from the Benzos
Red, it’s alright, open your eyes
It seems quiet now
All those stories down below
Kept out somehow
From the bedroom’s sheltered glow
Life gets so loud
When the night calls you to roam
It’s quiet now
When I’m with you I am home
Red on your window
Waking you up from the Benzos
Red, it’s alright, open your eyes
Open your eyes
Soon you can smile again
