          - Cover Us -


Whose trembling hands are these?
And what is this empty place?
We were happily lost,
   till we saw your face.
Here stands our empty house.
It once was so full of life.
Now it's home to a no one,
   who can have no wife.
It's just a hovel and –

Who- will have us now?
We- can't face another day
And who- will shelter us?
It's cold in here -
Cover us.

Under these fingertips,
We long for your body's rolls and dips.
We close our eyes,
   and you're here with us.
And as the day descends,
We'll shout from our window
To anyone listening.
"We're losing" -

Who- can save us now?
We- can't face another day
And who- will shelter us?
It's cold in here -
Cover us.

Oh -
In a plague of self hate questioning.
Tap dancing voices shouting ear to ear.
We hear the din of haters jousting.
When we're hiding with our head banging the wall.

Will you shelter us?
It's cold in here
