drift away

over here
over here my sacred,
my holy one
here, my love
my one and only,
come

judge me not
let me lay my beaten,
my beaten weary head upon your lap,
'til the indignation be over past

shield my eyes,
my holy one
it was not my fault,
nor is it yours

i was born despite myself,
i do not understand
please forgive me for damage done,
shield me from the indignation,
'til it be overpast

over here, 
i am over here my only one,
do not take offense, 
i am yours

lay down, 
i lay down at your side
if you will,
do what you will
i crumple

here i am, 
over here
take me away
away, 
take me away

run, 
run away far from here,
do not do me in
take me out of here

i lay myself down
i did not know
i saw her slowly die
a lonely frightened castaway,
i saw her run away unloved,
far away from here

i did not know how to help her
i did not try
i lay myself down
i did not know

do what you will with me
i am yours
do what you will,
'til the indignation be overpast,
i will not resist
i have learned

remember me,
remember me
when we laughed
your soft face like a dove,
like a sweet, holy child
your eyes,
no guile,
no, only soft
your gentle soul
where are you
my sweet sister?!

remember me
remember her
we played,
we play no more

as i drift away,
remember my face,
my place,
my will to be, 
to reach this place,
where nothing matters

nothing matters,
only my sorrow
as i drift away
