“Slumber” – original rock/pop by Trent Boswell
Slumber
Sand filling up the tired eyes
All things fall now into slumber
Drifting down on hazy memories
Of many bright things when we were younger
Falling from the trembling hands
Long, forgetful dance of forever
I thought for a moment of you
Of how you smiled and said “Never”
Sing to me one more time, softly
That sweet tune of all this
So when I close my eyes to wander
The thing I recall will be your kiss
Listen now for the footsteps
Of what draws closer to claim
A boundary too clear to miss
Even when you try hard not to aim
Wonderful it was; full of wonder
Nothing speaks so plain
Sparks drifting into endless space
Stillness throughout all these remains
Plucked a bright star out of the darkness
Watched it flicker as long as I could
Nothing holds this light forever
Everything goes as it should
Sing to me one more time, so softly
That sweet, sweet tune of all this
So when I close my eyes to wander
The last thing I know is your kiss
