Never Catch Me

And I Wonder

There's a moment before you fall asleep

When you get to wonder what you'll dream

And if you'll remember when you wake

All the things you thought today--

That's what this is like for me

I do not know if death's a dream

Or if I'll float away and then

I will be over -- that's the end

I watch the light above my head

Can I still cry if am am dead

Or will tears be left in my vacant eyes

For all my family to cry

I hear the voices calling out

A whisper than a daunting shout

I want them to keep me awake --

But I slip farther every breath I take.
