Avalanche

Sing to me
A simple melody
So soft it barely sees
The light of day
Your voice rushes to
My ears like sunlight through
A boarded window who’s
Been shuttered up all spring
Oh sing to me
That simple melody
So so innocently
It’s as if you did not hear
The crack of separation in
A moment’s hesitation
One heart inside me breaking
And another growing clean
Oh sing

There’s a canyon that I’ve been to
The walls are tall and dry
Sounds echo off like tennis balls
And bounce around for miles

I am standing at the bottom
When your voice comes drifting near
I know I should run for cover oh
But then I would not hear you

Sing to me
some simple melody
So unexpectantly
Seeking nothing in return

Dust is whipping through the canyon
Rocks are trickling down the walls
I try to yell for help but drop
My words like cannon balls

The ground around me tremors
I cannot move I cannot stand
The thought of not remembering
You or this avalanche

Oh, sing

Oh, sing to me
Any old melody
So soft it barely sees
The light of day
