[Verse 1]

Goodnight, my love

Remember me as you fall to sleep

Fill your pockets with the dust and the memories

That rises from the shoes on my feet

I won't be back here

Though we may meet again


[Verse 2]

I know it's dark outside

Don't be afraid

Every time I ever cried for fear

Was just a mistake that I made

Wash yourself in your tears

And build your church

On the strength of your faith


[Verse 3]

Please

Listen to me

Don't let go

Don't let this desperate moonlight leave me

With your empty pillow

Promise me the sun will rise again


[Verse 4]

I too am tired now

Embracing thoughts of tonight's dreamless sleep

My head is empty

My toes are warm

I am safe from harm
