message to my parents

You can let your gentle eyes rest tonight

I wont arrive in the morning light

Dont bother worring and  crying

You can let your gentle eyes rest 

Since you now dont have to see my face 

Corridors wont seem as crampted 

And nights wont seem as long nor sad

Everything will seem much better

Once you let your gentle eyes rest 

No more sleepless nights, no more wet pillows, no more pointless fights

Just you and an empty kitchen in the morning light
