Treasured Songtext
von Frequency Drift

I lay awake all night and wished
The ticking would not seem so slow
I watched the moon shine on your bed
The pillows warm and soft
And in between those peaceful breaths
You softly murmured in your sleep
While you were wrapped in blissful dreams
I pondered my escape at dawn
Caught me with your jokes
Trapped me with your voice
Stunned me with your perfect face
So well preserved
Tidy and cared for
Stashed away, the lid closed
Safe from dust and prying eyes


I closed the car door, leave behind
Dissolving dreams′ white silhouettes
The echoes of your sweet talk
And the promise of a life
I smile and wave as usual
I blow kisses lest you might suspect
What I found in your treasured box
Memories of such a lovely child
Caught me with your jokes
Trapped me with your voice
Stunned me with your perfect face
So well preserved
Tidy and cared for
Stashed away, the lid closed
Safe from dust and prying eyes
