lullaby for

lucas

This is a race against the weather
This is a protest against blame
A syringe for you to measure
A poppy stem along your vein

This is a lullaby for Lucas
A high commission from the lame
For curtains drawn in the daytime
across a broken window pane

And darlin’, you weren’t to blame

For the wave sent to tempt her
To steal away in the night
We will cover your skin in silver

You know we’d treat you right

For the splitting of a second
And the drawback of the bow
In between time heaven
When everything moves slow

And darlin’ ; you weren’t to know

For the magic in your fingers
I know you wait for it to come
But your temper, it rises before the rising sun

This is a lullaby for Lucas
This is a protest in his name
This is in favour of forgiveness
Cuz you know we’re all the same

And darlin’; you weren’t blame
