Hope there's someone

This song is one of the very few songs that actually makes me weep. It hurts. But it's just breathtakingly beautiful. Frailty and vulnerability. Fear.

hope there's someone who'll take care of me
when I die, will I go?
hope there's someone who'll set my heart free
nice to hold when I'm tired

there's a ghost on the horizon
when I go to bed
how can I fall asleep at night?
how will I rest my head?

oh, I'm scared of the middle place
between light and nowhere
I don't want to be the one
left in there, left in there

there's a man on the horizon
wish that I'd go to bed
if I fall to his feet tonight
will allow rest my head

so, here's hoping I will not drown
or paralyze in light
and godsend, I don't want to go
to the seal's watershed

hope there's someone who'll take care of me
when I die, will I go?
hope there's someone who'll set my heart free
nice to hold when I'm tired
