On Your Worst Nights
When all is said and done
When the light of day is gone
When the single key is turned
And the old dust greets
the lights are put on,
When the familiar lends to desire
And the beautiful
you’ve created leaves you empty
When you roam the halls for hours
And there’s nothing new to see
When your reflection leaves you lonely
And you little heart won’t stop
When your heavy head hits
the waves of your lost pillow
And your over-worked mind
can’t help but rewind
When your thoughts intertwine
When the numbers and jumping sheep
won’t put you to sleep
When the tears well up
and you’re feeling down
I do hope you find
somebody to love.
