Would you keep my dreams awake before I go to sleep?

The sun is setting quickly
Soon another day will be over
The mud is rising darling
And I don't want to get stuck
Call me crazy
But I can't help it
All my time
I've devoted to a moment of grace

Would you keep my dreams awake before I go to sleep?

Like scripture that needs singing
Or a puppet being brought to life
Breath some air into this fire
And keep it burning thru the night

Would you keep my dreams awake before I go to sleep?

I know it's not so plain and simple
The way I want it to be
Trying to build a house
In the middle of a shifting sea

So I give it all up
Every last grain of salt
Every atom of energy
Every trick up my sleeve
Every piece of my soul

Would you keep my dreams awake before I go to sleep?
