Crank it up

A Pillow of Winds

A cloud of eider down

Draws around me softening the sound

Sleepy time when I lie

With my love by my side

And she’s breathing low

And the candle dies.

When night comes down you lock the door

The boot falls to the floor

As darkness falls the waves roll by

The seasons change

The wind is warm.

Now wakes the owl, now sleeps the swan

Behold a dream, the dream is gone

Green fields

A cold rain is falling

Near the golden dawn.

And deep beneath the ground

The early morning sounds and I go down

Sleepy time in my life

With my love by my side

And she’s breathing low

And I rise like a bird

In the haze and the first rays touch the sky

And the night winds die.

    Just nod if you can hear me.

    Is there anyone home?

    Come on, Come on, Come on, now,

    I hear you’re feeling down.

    Well, I can ease your pain

    Get you on your feet again.

    Relax.

    I’ll need some information first.

    Just the basic facts.

    Can you show me where it hurts?

    There is no pain you are receding

    A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon.

    You are only coming through in waves.

    Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying.

    When I was a child I had a FEVER My hands felt just like two balloons.

    Now I’ve got that feeling once again

    I can’t explain, you would not understand

    This is not how I am.

    I have become comfortably numb.

    (solo)

    I have become comfortably numb.

    O.K.

    Just a little pin prick.

    There’ll be no more aaaaaaaaah!

    But you may feel a little sick.

    Can you stand up?

    I do believe it’s working, good.

    That’ll keep you going through the show

    Come on it’s time to go.

    There is no pain you are receding

    A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon.

    You are only coming through in waves.

    Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying.

    When I was a child

    I caught a fleeting glimpse

    Out of the corner of my eye.

    I turned to look but it was gone

    I cannot put my finger on it now

    The child is grown,

    The dream is gone.

    but I have become comfortably numb.
