tell me when night falls
so when the shades are drawn
i will know what to look for
through half-closed, blinded eyes
tell me when night falls
so when the dirt is shoveled over the day
i can prepare my skin to receive
the messages of the day passed
dust to dust
dust to dust
so when the shades are drawn
and night falls
i can close my eyes
not knowing what to look for
blinded by messages
yet able to see
elsewhere
