|
The words had all been spoken |
|
And somehow the feeling still wasnt right |
|
And still we continued on through the night |
|
Tracing our steps from the beginning |
|
Until they vanished into the air |
|
Trying to understand how our lives has led us there |
|
Looking hard into your eyes |
|
There was nobody Id ever known |
|
Such an empty surprise to feel so alone |
|
Now for me some words come easy |
|
But I know that they dont mean that much |
|
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch |
|
You never knew what I loved in you |
|
I dont know what you loved in me |
|
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be |
|
Awake again I cant pretend and I know Im alone |
|
And close to the end of the feeling weve known |
|
How long have I been sleeping |
|
How long have I been drifting alone through the night |
|
How long have I been dreaming I could make it right |
|
If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might |
|
To be the one you need |
|
Awake again I cant pretend and I know Im alone |
|
And close to the end of the feeling weve known |
|
How long have I been sleeping |
|
How long have I been drifting alone through the night |
|
How long have I been running for that morning flight |
|
Through the whispered promises and the changing light |
|
Of the bed where we both lie |
|
Late for the sky |
