velevet damage
sleep
little boy
little child
tonight the world has no place for you

smile
a little longer
a little stronger
people might forget if you don't care

close
your haunted eyes
your angry mouth
lest your voice, your soul, give you away

come
let me know
let me care
i promise i won't decieve you

dream
take my hand
take my love
there's nothing to say, nothing else for me to give

hide
from the world
from her face
tomorrow i'll still be here.
