"Bus Stop"

I'm running with the last shadows
As twilight comes and erases 
Their existence yet again
The night brings cold
And without the warmth your arms bring
I might freeze tonight
I need your Love to cover
 Me like a sweater
And bring light to this night
 So I don't get lost in the dark

I found a tiny island
With puddles all around
I know I won't fall in and drown
Until you're here to go too

The sky is purple and blue
With a tiny bit of a red hue
And all I can do is think of you

I found a tiny island
With puddles all around
I know I won't fall in and drown
Until you're here to go too

But now I've got the innocence of a child
To keep me company
And show me how to keep from caring
We'll just smile here and wait for your sweet return
