Distractions

Baby while you’re sleeping I’m coaxing dawn
Wish I could protect you from what’s coming on but I can’t
No one can
I envy how you can stay distracted

Fridge noises and the tumble dry
Can’t discern the stars from fireflies
That’s ok time leaks
Out over everything that shines and doesn’t shine

It’s not just about the great unknown
Or those who spend their lives alone
It’s more, or less
Worried about which is worse

So many hearts with love to share
Try to give it away but no one cares
You’re buzzing like so many flies
They swat at as they go by
