Dreams We Keep

With bitters and butterbeer
let us imbibe
until the night watch
pierces our ears
with their signal cries

Cheers to the prophet
who watches the sky
Cheers to the awkward
look in our eyes
Cheers to the night
long and dark
and the moment we light
a blinding spark

We wandering lost
and strangers blind
use each other
to pass the time

These waves of heat
and rolling thunder
when we meet
each other under
the falling clouds
in a valley deep
and wrap us in shrouds
of dreams we keep

Here we hold this wall
Here we bleed alone
Here we stand or fall
and yet your heart
I've never known
