Goodnight

I watch your motionless picture
Hoping one day it'll move
You watch my restless sleep, I call for you to show
But I see nothing at all

I came home one Wednesday afternoon
It was a long day and I'd said goodbye to you
Now every piece of me is aching for that touch
Aching for that love
Aching for that heart to beat

Now I won't find the comfort of your arms anymore
We won't whisper into the night anymore
No bubble baths the water's run dry too short
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight forever

Three thousand paper cranes we made for you
Three good wishes with the hope to get you through
And now I wonder were they ever heard at all
Was it the only thing we could do
Was there even someone to wish to

Now I won't find the comfort of your arms anymore
We won't whisper into the night anymore
No bubble baths the water's run dry too short
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight forever

We all suspended hope that it would pass
That that year wouldn't be your last
I stood in the hospice yard
I was so young I took the burden
Hold it with me everyday
In the pockets of my jeans and the smile on my face

Now I won't find the comfort of your arms anymore
We won't whisper into the night anymore
No bubble baths the water's run dry too short
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight forever
