Depression's Castle
When you’re alone in the castle
When even the mice have gone
When the moonlight shadows stalk
And it’s a long time till dawn
When you cannot hear a voice
Because the walls block out the sound
When the loneliness is close
When the fearful footsteps pound
Remember me
I can walk into the castle
So that you won’t be alone
I can bring a drop of sunlight
To brighten walls of stone
You can listen for my voice
I’ll say your name to make a sound
You don’t have to be afraid
When the darkness comes around
