Dark Of Night

a child calls out
in the dark of night
i hear the shout
but no one's in sight
a shot rings through the air
i look around
but nobody's there
the gun falls to the ground
the feelings slowly leaving me
it's almost gone
and what will be will be
you'll find a way to go on
now i see myself
sitting down there
and i am above the self
breathing no air
i slowly drift away
from this place
good-bye i didn't say
the pain i wish i could erase
i couldn't go on
i couldn't live
nobody knew what was wrong
nobody ever could give
what i need
is from my mother
no more than a simple deed
that could come from no other
