"Goodnight New Brunswick" Lyrics

it's all so sudden
how i found myself here
with you cradled in my arms
so afraid my shouting
i will wake you
i lie here admiring this gift
the one i don't deserve
but i have wanted forever
and thank fate for this moment
the hardest part of my day is leaving you
so thank you for this night

so close your eyes
and dream of me
say everything you're too scared to say
leave worry to the waking world
and know that i'm here to keep you safe

morning comes so quickly these nights
so i keep this time with me
keep playing it over and over
every detail, every chance of sight (?)
as you leave to begin a new day
please think of me
know that even thought we're so far apart
my thoughts are still with you

so close your eyes
and dream of me
say everything you're too scared to say
leave worry to the waking world
and know that i'm here to keep you safe

just promise me that you'll stay by my side
it's just so hard
the night's so dark sometimes
(i'll be there for you to make the darkness slip so far away)
here with you it all just seems to slip so far away
i close my eyes (close your eyes) and dream of you
until the stars all fade

so close your eyes
dream of me

so close your eyes
and dream of me
say everything you're too scared to say
leave worry to the waking world
and know that i'm here to keep you save

so close your eyes
so close your eyes
so close your eyes (eyes)
so close your eyes (eyes)
just promise me (you) you'll (i'll) be there
