leave some sun inside
Interrogate my heart, under
lowering afternoon light
Sun...it falls slowly down to
earth
and transparency brushes the leaves
and my heart
I know that soon it will drop to darkness
and I'll be able to move
once, twice more
but fixed I sit
and still, I wait
for your eye to penetrate
once, twice score
All I pray is that you'll stay
just long enough
to heal me,
leave some sun inside,
please leave some sun inside
