about

This song was inspired by a line in my Grandfathers memoirs.

lyrics

Safe in my dreams

All these heavy thoughts, keep me up late at night.
They start up as I stop; when I lay still my head flies.

I’m finding truth so scary; to be in love and still die alone.
It sucks to know what’s coming, and watch the change as we grow old.

Tears falling in the dead of night, I lay down and shut my eyes, but my heart is sinking.

There’s a wolf at the door, won’t quit trying to get in. Just like that day that awaits, when we pay for our sins. There’s a far better man I wish I would’ve been; only once that paths crossed, we can’t go back again.

Problems only multiply, try to call it a day but the thoughts won’t die.

Tears falling in the dead of night, I lay down and shut my eyes, but my heart is sinking.

Finding truth so scary, I can’t escape what waits for me.
But after all the crying, I’ll be safe in my dreams.
