drift away

over here

over here my sacred,

my holy one

here, my love

my one and only,

come

judge me not

let me lay my beaten,

my beaten weary head upon your lap,

'til the indignation be over past

shield my eyes,

my holy one

it was not my fault,

nor is it yours

i was born despite myself,

i do not understand

please forgive me for damage done,

shield me from the indignation,

'til it be overpast

over here, 

i am over here my only one,

do not take offense, 

i am yours

lay down, 

i lay down at your side

if you will,

do what you will

i crumple

here i am, 

over here

take me away

away, 

take me away

run, 

run away far from here,

do not do me in

take me out of here

i lay myself down

i did not know

i saw her slowly die

a lonely frightened castaway,

i saw her run away unloved,

far away from here

i did not know how to help her

i did not try

i lay myself down

i did not know

do what you will with me

i am yours

do what you will,

'til the indignation be overpast,

i will not resist

i have learned

remember me,

remember me

when we laughed

your soft face like a dove,

like a sweet, holy child

your eyes,

no guile,

no, only soft

your gentle soul

where are you

my sweet sister?!

remember me

remember her

we played,

we play no more

as i drift away,

remember my face,

my place,

my will to be, 

to reach this place,

where nothing matters

nothing matters,

only my sorrow

as i drift away
