about

There was a family member that I caught a glimpse of over a holiday some years back. I wrote this remembering that awkward holiday, from the point of view of the drug (also as her lover). A couple years later she died.

lyrics

Fall asleep, dear addict
fall asleep dear addict
and one of these times
you'll wake up for the last time
walking on a street of gold

I remember when we met in your bed
was so lovely, I went straight to your head
and we said hello to Jesus
and followed on a street of gold

No lover can give more than me
no mother forgives quite like me
no father can give you the promised land
not even these sweet, sweet dreams.
