Prayer

Tell the stars to shine upon our heads
To keep us save and sound
Days upon the Earth we fall behind.

Tell the wind to blow somewhere else
To make mean fires grow somewhere else
To let us both get cold somewhere else
To keep us safe from harm.

'Cause all the time I've tried you've held me down
And oh the wind has blown sweet through my bones
And oh this winter's killed to many times
So let me be this time

Let me find peace of mind

Tell our feet to walk by each other's side for a while
On a distance safely mile by mile
Slowing down to never leave behind
