Paroles de Sleep Is Just A Dream
Sometimes at nightThe motorbikes outside my window sound like screams
And tear me from dreams so fast I gasp for air,
Like actors from nightmares in bad movies
And I want to pull you to me,
Feel your heart beat slow,
Act like I know those beasts that creep in shadow
Are tricks of sight,
A flickered streetlight
Or full beam left on,
But you're gone
And tonight it would seem
Sleep is just a dream.
Sometimes at night
Blurred lights mean sleepy eyes won't focus
And I don't have to notice you on every street.
A steady beat, my feet on stone,
A current flows to here from home
And tonight it would seem
Sleep is just a dream.
A poet would write,
You shone like starlight,
Or glowed like the midnight moon. Sometimes at night this city runs a river right to you
Right to your door
Where I stand drowning in all that went before,
In all that's ever been
And tonight it would seem
Sleep is just a dream.
Act like I know those beasts that creep in shadow
Are tricks of sight,
A flickered streetlight
Or full beam left on,
But you're gone
And tonight it would seem
Sleep is just a dream.
Sometimes at night
Blurred lights mean sleepy eyes won't focus
And I don't have to notice you on every street.
A steady beat, my feet on stone,
A current flows to here from home
And tonight it would seem
Sleep is just a dream.
A poet would write,
You shone like starlight,
Or glowed like the midnight moon. Sometimes at night this city runs a river right to you
Right to your door
Where I stand drowning in all that went before,
In all that's ever been
And tonight it would seem
Sleep is just a dream.
