For several days
The visitors were here
We saw them turned down
And we watched them disappear
Talked about the days
They'd said were sure to come
Had a hard time believing
I remember seeing you
My tongue struck dumb
When you first came here
From wherever it was you came from
The power in your voice
Your rough touch
You keeping care of me
Keeping watch
Open up the doors to the tent
Wonder where the good times went
I will do what you ask me to do
Because of how I feel about you
I saw his little face
Contract as his eyes met light
Tried to imagine
Anything so bright
You only see it once
And then it steals into the dawn
And then it's gone forever
For several hours we lay there
Last ones of our kind
Harder days coming maybe
I don't mind
Sounds kind of dumb when I say it
But it's true
I would do anything for you
Open up the promise of the day
Drive the dark things away
I will do what you ask me to do
Because of how I feel about you
