7 Gifts

Shaft of light between the shades Penetrates My eternal night curtailed. Now this light falls at my feet Drawing me “Come walk out the door, be free, be free” Oh what I’ve been missing these years, To feel the breeze cool my face And not be kept in a jar like a bug Come collect just like a bird Fly away Please return another day Take the gifts placed in the tree Begging you Just look up and smile tonight, tonight Oh what I’ve been missing these years, To feel the breeze cool my face And not be kept in a jar like a bug 7 gifts placed in the tree just begging you to smile 7 gifts placed in the tree just begging you to smile at me. When the drunk comes calling I will be there When he drags you down to the floor I will be there I can stand alone in the house But I know the feeling that feeling you're close So I'll stay behind the door I'll never venture out so far and give you anymore
