Weigh me down like an anchor.
Hold me down like a stone.
Cover me like a blanket.
Make me a box and call it home.

Light my path like a lantern.
Shine for me like the North Star.
Send a flare up to the heavens,
So I can find you when I’m far.

Wrap your fingers ‘round my loose ends,
So I don’t fly away.
And I’ll stay with you forever,
Or for another day.

Strike a match in the darkness.
Whisper that it will soon be dawn.
And I’ll stay with you forever,
Or until you wake to find I’m gone.
