I wake up with the power out
And light a candle for the kids
Shadows jump all over the walls
Fantastic characters emerge from the sea
We sleep in a bag of feathers
And wait for morning, for sunlight

I just want you to know
I still live my life by the moon
As you watch on your TV screen
Some strange storm
I go out into the night
And visit the kids
Dying out in the snow

I want to tell them
That it never leaves
Not on wet pillow nights
Nor weary sunset sidewalks

But in the double-reflection of the window
My eyes are black holes
The skull peering out, as always
From behind the eyes

Laughter peals off the walls
The sky straight up is dirty white
Vanishing into the mountain
I sing with no sound
