Eight

When you woke

I was there

I was quiet

Lost in your stare

It was dark

I drew the blinds

Let the light in

Stinging our eyes

You went cold

You went cold

You took me in

Caught in two minds

Gave me a home

Taught me to be kind

To say hello

Or wave goodbye

To always love

And never lie

You went cold

You went cold

You went cold

You went cold

I awoke

You were there

It was silent

I was scared

I was eight

You were old

I held your hand

As you went cold

As you went cold

‘Cause I was eight

And you were old

I held your hand

As you went cold

‘Cause I was eight

And you were old

I held your hand

As you went cold

As you went cold

‘Cause I was eight

And you were old

I held your hand

As you went cold

You went cold

You went cold
