She calls to me
like the dog howling
at the just so hung moon in the dark of the night.
come to me, come to me.
baby
I'll make you feel alright.
Playing with the devil, teasing demons
come to me, come to me
baby.
I'll make you feel alright.
Silk of the river, waves of my ignorant human fear.
Oh, but the hush hush of her sweet calling
come to me come to me.
baby...
I'll make you feel alright.
And oh, when she calls to me
she calls heavy.
Bring your love
bring you fears
bring all you have
and
come to me, come to me
baby.
I'll make you feel alright.

The author's comments:
this is about struggling with addictions and depression of losing loved ones. It is the voice of your darkness calling your name dragging down into the depths of where it wants you to be the place where you can't ever leave.
