As Long As It Matters
By: Noah Eaton
7/24/01

It's 2 in the morning
Teia is finally sleeping
I can't help but think
I can't seem to sleep

I slip down beside her
And I pull up her covers
I can't help but think
I can't seem to sleep

Why can't I save her
If I really love her
But I will be there to watch her
As long as it matters

She keeps her head down in the evening
And I can hear her crying
I can't help but think
I can't seem to sleep

She says her heart is banked
With so much agony and blame
I can't help but think
I can't seem to sleep

Why can't she see me
To me it's so heartwrenching
But I'll be there to comfort her
As long as it matters

We both knew life wouldn't be easy
But she says why does it have to be this hard
And I hug her close and answer
"I know how you feel, but you've gone so far!"

I look out the window of gloom
Waiting for the Rose Of Sharon to bloom
I can't help but think
I can't seem to sleep

I'd whisper, "Sweet angel,
sing your favorite carol!"
I can't help but think
I can't seem to sleep

Can I offer her a blessing?
That maybe someday she will be singing?
Either way, I will always be here for her
As long as it matters
