Sleep easy tonight,

(Won’t you?)

Close your eyes,

(Won’t you?)

Pull the covers close

Around you.

Let the warm air in,

(Won’t you?)

Let the house grow still,

(Won’t you?)

And when the dark

Moves past your door,

You won’t feel the chill,

Won’t you?

But...

Where the fuck were you

When the rain came down?

When the cold crept in

And there was no one around?

One question left

Hanging in the air,

Where the fuck were you,

And why didn’t you care?

Did your dinner taste good tonight?

Did the room feel warm?

Did someone laugh by your side?

Did you sit there smiling?

Comfortable with wine?

Did you pour another drink?

Did you talk about your day?

Did someone ask how you were?

Did you have so much to say?

But...

Where the fuck were you

When the rain came down?

When the cold crept in

And there was no one around?

One question left

Hanging in the air,

Where the fuck were you,

And why didn’t you care?

Did you have money in your pocket?

Did you have somewhere safe to sleep?

Did you have somewhere safe to lock it?

Did you have things to distract you,

When the night got too deep?

Did someone check you made it home?

Did you laugh to them?

Did they call you on their phone?

Did you smile when they,

Check you weren't alone?

But...

Where the fuck were you

When the rain came down?

When the cold crept in

And there was no one around?

One question left

Hanging in the air,

Where the fuck were you,

And why didn’t you care?

Did you remember our names?

Did you ever wonder who was sitting in the cold?

Who was walking through the rain?

We were not the same.

Did you ever care to ask us

Any of those things at all?

Because if you had,

The answer

To every one

Was no.
