It is late now,
The day hangs heavy
On my shoulders.
The night does not comfort me
As I know you could.
Pavarotti sings loudly.
My thoughts are with you,
My insecurity reigns,
I look at myself
Coldly,
Such flaws,
I hide from you.
While Pavarotti sings.
Dreams are never mine,
Though I try to dream
Of you.
Belfast streets haunt,
Should I bring this pain
To you?
As Pavarotti sings?
Maybe sleep will
Reach me,
Teach me,
I should trust
In you,
Then sleep will come.
For me, and for Pavarotti.
