Well Met by Streetlight Lyrics

When you think you've reached the end

Bent as far as you can bend

Four a.m. and all's not well

Trapped in your own private hell

You step outside into the night

At the corner there's a light

You find your feet have their own plan

Drawn to the shadow

The shadow of a man

He stands tall he stands still

A monolith of focused will

Though you're sure something isn't right

You find that you don't want to fight

The first thing you see is his eyes

Green like moss deep and wise

Though he doesn't move at all

You hear him beckon hear him call

His voice echoes in your ears

Promising an end to your nightly tears

Suddenly your hand's in his

He wraps you up in darkness

You feel a fire in your mind

Raging inferno leaving nothing behind

Cleansed of all your pain and grief

You're overcome by this sudden relief

The streetlight slowly fades away

The world around is soft and grey

With hallowed eyes you look around

Nothing moves nothing makes a sound

You return to your cold bed

Empty room empty head

The curtains drawn you are alone

You sink into dreamless sleep still as a stone
