Goodnight

I watch your motionless picture

Hoping one day it'll move

You watch my restless sleep, I call for you to show

But I see nothing at all

I came home one Wednesday afternoon

It was a long day and I'd said goodbye to you

Now every piece of me is aching for that touch

Aching for that love

Aching for that heart to beat

Now I won't find the comfort of your arms anymore

We won't whisper into the night anymore

No bubble baths the water's run dry too short

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight forever

Three thousand paper cranes we made for you

Three good wishes with the hope to get you through

And now I wonder were they ever heard at all

Was it the only thing we could do

Was there even someone to wish to

Now I won't find the comfort of your arms anymore

We won't whisper into the night anymore

No bubble baths the water's run dry too short

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight forever

We all suspended hope that it would pass

That that year wouldn't be your last

I stood in the hospice yard

I was so young I took the burden

Hold it with me everyday

In the pockets of my jeans and the smile on my face

Now I won't find the comfort of your arms anymore

We won't whisper into the night anymore

No bubble baths the water's run dry too short

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight forever
