Keeps Me Light

how did you know where to find me?
what did you think you would see here?
I live alone in a state you moved out of
I drink you down with my fear

hey there's love that keeps me light
it ain't truth that keeps me right
can I borrow from your mind?
just to keep me light

I don’t care if the darkness is soon to arrive
just save me a place in the hungering sky
I don’t mind if the dawn doesn’t follow the night
I’ll be safe in a place that you said was mine

what did you see through my window,
catching a glimpse of devotion?
it's just a light from a shuttered casino
starts to dissolve in emotion

hey there, sorrow in my eye
(something that I couldn’t)
you're not safe to bring to life
(something that I couldn’t borrow)
can I borrow from your mind
(keeps me, it keeps me)
just to keep me light?
(something that will keep me alight)

I don’t care if the darkness is soon to arrive
just save me a place in the hungering sky
I don’t mind if the dawn doesn’t follow the night
I'll be safe in a place that you said was mine

as the ghosts are going on inside my windowed eyes
(eyes on my mind, eyes on my mind’s eye)
as the birds are blowing all around my windy skies
(skies are open, skies are open wide)
I need someone come to loan a light sometime
(time, almost time)

I don’t care if the darkness is soon to arrive
just save me a place in the hungering sky
I don’t mind if the world’s running out of light
I’ll stay, I’ll stay there by your side

I don’t care if the darkness is soon to arrive
just save me a place in the hungering sky
I don’t mind if the dawn doesn’t follow the night
I’ll be safe in a place that you said was mine

I don’t care if the darkness is soon to arrive
just save me a place in the hungering sky
knowing the day ain’t soon to arrive
I’ll be safe in a place that you said was mine
