Les Rêves Canadiens

    Under The Porch
         
        Dark like that one night
        Under the porch there was no light
        I came to you but you never noticed
        Or if you did you didn't care
        And you pretended I wasn't even there

        I reached out to you
        My arms extended
        My spirit and yours are now being blended
        You go on sleeping like a baby with no cares
        Under a porch with no stairs

        How did you end up this way?
        Under a porch with no blanket you lay
        You're shivering
        Oh poor baby, you're quivering
        No one to keep you warm

       I would do something but I cannot
       I am only a spirit
       In this one fateful spot

       I can see your suffering
       It's written all over your face
       If I could do something...
       I can't be displaced

       So if you want to leave this world
       That's giving you much strife
       And you want to live with me in the afterlife
       I'm a dark angel, the angel of death
       I could allow you to breathe your last breath
       I could take you from this forlorn place
       Under this porch of so-called grace
       And bring you to the heaven you much deserve
       Cause I don't want you to suffer anymore on this earth

      You open your eyes
      A strong light you see
      Under the porch during the night?
      This can't be!

     I tell you what you dreamt is true
     And I will take you to a world anew
     You say...
     Could I please come with you?
