Sleeping tight,
Contended sugarplums danced.
Not a care in the world,
The contract shone with permanence.

The moment had arrived,
Somehow I had survived the questions. All the questions.
A new road was opening,
It was my chance to sing at long last. At long last.

The academic blockade was melting,
When along came a quiet truth with fire for my bed.

911,
Sirens awoke my neighbours,
EMTs confused,
Asked me where I was bleeding.

But it was so dark.

Waking up in the middle of a freezing night,
I wondered if I'd ever see the sun again.
Wind whistling warnings on my frosty window.
Summer where'd you go? I dig for answers under snow.

Yeah!

The moment has arrived,
Somehow I had survived the answers. All the answers.
A new road is opening,
What will tomorrow bring? But, you never know. You never know.

Finally,
The sun came through my window,
I got up slow,
And plugged in my guitar.
