When I sleep
Everything is just the same
You are still my darlin' dear
And I'm still the boy that's on your brain
When I sleep
Everything still feels alright
You're still smilin' back at me
in my dreams, throughout the night
When I sleep
I can talk to you again
I can ask you how your day was
I can ask you how you've been
When I sleep
I don't question why you left
I don't question where you went
And I don't question your great theft
But when I wake
All the pain
returns
times three
That's why I sleep
And sleep
While I'm asleep,
from this anguish
I am free
When I wake
I see that lonely space
and cry
The place I felt your sweet embrace
in my bed,
where you used to lie
