Lisa Mitchell - Incomplete Lullaby


Like a turning head, like a second look
Like a burning leaf of an open book
Like a pounding sea, like a massive climb
When your eyes first met with mine

Like a broken word, like a tragic smile
Like a thousand steps or a single mile
Like a lonely chance, like a sacage glow
When you turned and said hello

I was just about to go
There were flowers on the ceiling
You left me feeling

Like a fading voice, like a closing door
Like a dozen lies and a dozen more
Like a twisted tongue, like a distant bark
When we broke out into the dark

Stars looked like burning sparks
The lights were on but chilling
You left me feeling

(Chorus)
Tired, I could not close my eyes
On fire, but frozen inside
To run or to hide
Speechless, my words would not melt
Whispered, I wanted to shout
Without you I felt

Like a fleeting thought, like a double life
Like a gentle feel of a warming taste
Like a plassive breath, like a cooling blow
When you stopped and held me close

Inside I nearly froze
Your touch is almost healing
You left me feeling

(Chorus)

Like a setting sun, like a lost goodbye
Like an incomplete lullaby
