I am the lost

Please keep your heart open, drifting in sleep.
Hold my hollow weakness in shuttered eyes,
In shadowy dreams, I am a lost sheep.

Pull back the blankets and let frailty seep
Into the linen folds of muffled goodbyes
Please keep your heart open, drifting in sleep.

Search for me, in barren caverns so deep
They swallow the words that say goodbye
In shadowy dreams, I am a lost sheep.

Speak of me in the arid winds that leap
Across the emptiness in echoed sighs
Please keep your heart open, drifting in sleep.

Listen for the bell that tolls, and creeps
Across the vastness that separates and cries
In shadowy dreams, I am a lost sheep.


And you, my shepherd, no longer shall weep
Of your lost little lamb taken on high
Please keep your heart open, drifting in sleep.
In shadowy dreams, I am a lost sheep.
