WAITING FOR MY NIGHT

In woods I seek,
In woods I seek the meadow.
Prison is the trees as I am waiting for my night.

The night is long and dreary,
     I am tired, weak, and weary.
I seek no company from the worldly dreary
     As I embrace the stars.

(2)
I seek my own silence,
I seek a world of eternal midnight.

The midnight hour approaches,
     One resists to dine upon the roaches.
As one thinks of nothing by hunger,
     As one waits for the gallows tree.

(2)
The midnight hour approaches,
The midnight hour draws near.

In woods I seek,
In woods I seek the meadow.
Prison is the trees as I am waiting for my night.
