Avalanche

Sing to me

A simple melody

So soft it barely sees

The light of day

Your voice rushes to

My ears like sunlight through

A boarded window who's

Been shuttered up all spring

Oh sing to me

That simple melody

So so innocently

It's as if you did not hear

The crack of separation in

A moment's hesitation

One heart inside me breaking

And another growing clean

Oh sing

There's a canyon that I've been to

The walls are tall and dry

Sounds echo off like tennis balls

And bounce around for miles

I am standing at the bottom

When your voice comes drifting near

I know I should run for cover oh

But then I would not hear you

Sing to me

some simple melody

So unexpectantly

Seeking nothing in return

Dust is whipping through the canyon

Rocks are trickling down the walls

I try to yell for help but drop

My words like cannon balls

The ground around me tremors

I cannot move I cannot stand

The thought of not remembering

You or this avalanche

Oh, sing

Oh, sing to me

Any old melody

So soft it barely sees

The light of day
