Hold on to these words, 
 I'd like to think that they may offer 
 Some protection, 
 Against the night. 

 Against the night, 
 Your life can feel transparent, 
 reflection, 
 trick of light. 

 So when sleep just [bad word]  
 And you've got no occupation, 
 But nibbling at the [bad word]  Of the melancholy tree, 
 Just hold on to these words, 
 Hold on to me.

 Just hold on to these words,
 They're the best I've got to offer 
 At the moment,
 As a lullaby.

 As a lullaby, 
 You can lay down by the tracks 
 And feel the world
 Slip by.
