Light




I go to sleep,
before the devil wakes and I wake up,
before the angels take all my worldly desires,
all my yardsticks of fear,
all my secrets untold,
all my motives unclearhanging down in the fire,
burning them higher,

won't take them away from here
and long after we' re gone the light will stay on...

And if you bury me,
add three feet to itone for your sorrow,
two for your sweat,
three for the strange things we never forget
and long after we re gone
the light will stay on...
