Postcards

Don’t stand in front of what you do know
Keep the past right outside your window
Let the morning rain hit your face and cool you
You don’t need drugs to keep you sane when
Youth leaves you like a neglected friend
Stare straight at the light as it penetrates you

You’re the only thing that I need
The only thing that I need
The only thing that I need

Catch your breath as you peer into outer space
In telescopes and mirrors bent as you gaze
Through a hole as black as night don’t let me lose you
Your face lit up like the Northern Lights
In the stars like the darkness they ignite
I hold you tight because I know I can’t live without you

You’re the only thing that I need
The only thing that I need
The only thing that I need

You’re the only thing that I need
The only thing that I need
The only thing that I need
