One day and a thousand nights,
I wandered into the woods to find some light.
I found dead foxes and broken birds
And empty eyes,
And I knew I was safe amongst these
For they would do me no harm in their emptiness.
A thousand days and many long nights
I found myself in fights to find sleep safe.
I found fiery words and hardened hands
And empty eyes,
And I knew I lived in fear because of these
For they would send me harm in their emptiness.
Many a days and long nights
I pondered of walking off to find my end,
Till one night I found a song in the empty space below my bed.
I found kindness and love and safety and
All that made life full once again.
And I knew I was gonna be alright till the morning of the next night,
For I could hold to my heart those kisses despite all my emptiness.
