When I'm away
I'm still here
Whispering your own poems

To your ear

And when I'm gone
You feel me near
You let the night pass
As you begin to count the stars

I told you once or twice-
Nothing can last forever
Open up your eyes, see-
Nothing can last forever

And can you feel?
Your body's wet to dry
This autumn will end
Can you hear my lullaby?

And can you see
The phantoms of the lake?
Slow agonies
I can find no peace
