You embrace the sink
Not ready yet to fly
Like a baby bird still holding on a branch
But why
I was there with you
Got up off the sheets
Nor before, nor ahead
I've asked a favor of the dead
But you're still sleeping even now
Twenty years minus one
And you are sleeping even now
Twenty years minus one
Dyed with henna hair
Lying on a bed
The house will always smell like winter
And of Easter bread
So soon you were pushed away
When I needed you to stay
Like a ladybug they've sent you in the name of
God.
But you're still sleeping even now
Twenty years minus one
And you are sleeping even now
Twenty years minus one
I forgive myself
For my broken heart
I wish i knew there was a better reason
From the start
If I had the chance
To give you a last embrace
I'd whisper in your ear that you're my only shining Star
But you're still sleeping even now
Twenty years minus one.
And you are sleeping even now
Twenty years minus one
