Maybe For A Moment (Indie folk)

[Instrumental Intro: Slow, stark acoustic guitar picking, low ambient cello drone] Maybe for a moment You can be my big sister Someone I can lean on Will you be coming with us Where ever that will be... Maybe for a moment I could stop being the strong one Maybe someone older Could help me carry the world... Red reflections on the water Pieces of you drifting away Some nights still return there Though you bury them deep each day... A world so cruel Giving only to fade away A joy so deep Only to be taken away... You learned how to keep moving When moving was all you could do Folding hurt into silence So no one would worry for you... But when the darkness reaches slowly And your breathing drifts far away I just hold you beside me Until the shadows lose their shape... Red reflections on the water But morning still finds the shore And you don’t have to carry Every ghost anymore... A world so cruel Giving only to fade away A joy so deep Only to be taken away... You did what was asked Tried to hold it together Wearing pieces like a mask Through every kind of weather... Morning still finds the shore And I will stay beside you Your road was never easy You just kept doing what you had to... One thing to remember When you're holding it together Through the darkness When feeling alone... You are loved... You are strong... You are safe... You are not alone...
