A Song for Lisa

from Six Songs for Lisa by Avery Burke

/

lyrics

oh, the dark is deep
oh, the night is long
I know you can't sleep
I know something's wrong

shadows forage in the streets
storms rage on the sea
black clouds gather at the beach
and you lie restlessly

close your eyes
try to leave your worry be
leave it with me

like the hands
of a clock keep time
I will keep it with mine

people will be cruel
people will be kind
you can talk all night to me
it's alright, I don't mind

to everyone you know
you are a friend
but if you let that go
how deep the darkness then
how deep the darkness then

kindle your kindred spirit
I know how dim the light tonight
I know you're strong and you can bear it
oh, how bright you are, how bright
