Don't leave

                        for a month and a day,
                       even for eternity
Don't leave
                       oh, for these gallows may

                       put rest into my journey
Don't leave
                       for a hasty jiffy
                       or a full-length second
Don't leave

                        for lights from the city
                       misses your glow, I reckon

Naïve,

                        I was for a long time

                        my silhouette dissolving
Naïve,

                        hearing peals of chime,

                        your shunned shadows evolving
Naïve,

                        oh my eyelids flutter

                        until the sun rises east
Naïve,

                        "sorry," shall i utter?

                        but I'll be waiting, at least
