don’t forget to say your prayers kneeling by the bed, see the twinkling stars through the window for where i’m standing, i can see the same stars the twinkling stars, lovely as i am daddy loves you but he can’t love what he can’t have wrap my last kiss in a bandage i send you this message my love is endless i’ll close your eyes and send you off the shining moon will sing you to sleep the bird of the moon, adrift forever and the sea of stars runs deep whisper goodnight forever whisper forever goodnight look for a star at the end of a tunnel an exit, a kindness so bright you are fixed, i am transient permanent is pain i’ll leave enough to last a lifetime you won’t see my kind again in the center of the silence in the silver pool of calm i can drown you in my sorrows i could keep you safe from harm the silence is silver your child’s crown is gold my arms around you you’ll never grow old
