Come and walk beside me

and keep me company

pretend some one is watching

inside of all our dreams

Please come and stand beside me

follow me to sleep

you think we've found the answers

inside the in-between

Draw yourself a picture

colour it in green

place God inside the garden

and follow me to sleep

I know that you are lonely 

think I have all the letters

your words will ever need

Don't mistake the honour 

of sharing in my sleep

we all hide deep together 

in some one else's dream

Come and walk beside me

we'll walk into the sea

and drown in streams of letters

with no words for company

Please come and stand beside me

I'll swallow all your dreams

it's what you've always wanted

it's where you've always been

No dead can wake the living

No life can death redeem

Let us walk together

into the in-between

Merry Christmas

I tried to get to you for days

but it was too cold

or too late

or not the right time

I spent those days with friends thinking

you would be there

you would be happy to see me

we would laugh about our sisters

maybe have a meal together

I didn’t think about you a lot

it was a busy time of year

and you were busy too 

I thought

When I was close I'd get the call

but it wasn’t from you

it would never be from you 

I thought there was something wrong 

because

the grief was so ordinary 

as ordinary as opening the door

and 

sometimes

I 

still think you 

will
