When everyone has gone to sleep And you are wide awake, There's no one left to tell your troubles to
Just an hour ago, you listened to their voices Wilting like a river over underground And the light from downstairs Came up soft like daybreak Dimly as the heartache of a lonely child
And if you can't remember a better time You can have mine, little one In days to come, when your heart Feels undone, may you always find An open hand And take comfort wherever you can, You can, you can
Oh, it's a strange place And oh, everyone with a different face But just like you thought when you stopped Here to linger We're only as separate as your little fingers
So cry, why not? we all do Then turn to the one you love And smile a smile that lights up all the room And follow your dreams In through every out door It seems that's what we're here for
And when you can't remember a better time You can have mine, little one
In days to come, when your heart Feels undone, may you always find An open hand And take comfort
There is comfort Take comfort wherever you can, You can, you can, oh
