Elya Thorn - I Lay My Head...

I lay my head on the pillow,
The pillow that is filled
With my tears,
My shattered dreams...

I cover my body with a white sheet,
Probably the sheet
I will be buried with,
No coffin...

I lay my thoughts in the arms of dreams,
Beautiful dreams or nightmares,
Flying lines of dust or
Crumbling spheres of water,
Wind or stillness,
Water or fire...

They will keep me company
Throughout the night,
Dreams will fill my mind,
As you fill my heart!

I lay my head on my hope,
The hope that I’ll see you soon,
With tears in your eyes,
You’ll come back...
