No Lover's Lullaby


You stopped my heart with one great song
Then again with all your stories
You made me want to hold your pain
To raise you in your glory

But from the start we were aware
We're living in a sacred dream
I cannot sew your wounded heart
You cannot save me when I scream

Still we are stuck here in our trap
Not knowing what we both should feel
No love comes forth from either heart
Though desperately we wish to yeild

So do not play that song again
No matter how I beg or plead
Please do not make me comfortable
Never say the words I need

Then if you don't, I will be free
At night, won't force my thoughts to you
Then our pernicious guilts can die
So our souls won't have to

back to the highway that never ends
