your picture resides
in a plastic page
sincerity reflects

off the cellophane
burning embers that fill the ashtray
let me write away
i'm ready to rest, i'm ready to die
god, i love your face

love is blind
so feel the warm glow
you're so scared you'll get cut
believe me, kid, i know
one more smoke and then i've gotta run
and the longing's just begun
with all the hearts that i've known
can yours be the last one?

i hope my eyes don't hurt too much when i look back
i know by morning time your pillow will be black
i hope that every night you'll bring me new light
i hope my trembling hands get held by yours, so tight
so, baby, just glow

i hope my eyes don't hurt too much when you look back
i know by morning time your pillow will be black
i know that every night you'll bring me new light
and i hope you'll hold this broken heart
i'll be yours, i won't go
so, baby, let's glow

so, i'll shout at the storm
dark thunder, farewell
so long, dark clouds
i'll see you in hell!
so, baby, just glow

i'm so proud of you for glowing
