This somnambulist dreams
of my heart
standing still
and my body lying down
with you, hoping to hold
you but now it's dark
and you are here
in my arms, in my heart, under midnight skies
Await me in the dark, restless land
I am coming
wait for me soon you'll be
in my arms, in my heart, under midnight skies
My heart beats
out of my breast, breaths
fight to keep still
silent in the night,
lover I love to fight to stay
in your arms, in your heart, under midnight skies
in this moment
pulling me under ,under you
your hands guide me
always guide me to you
my bright eyes move over you
I remember how I held you
in my arms, in my heart, under midnight skies

I don't
want to stay here
because you are not
one I want to
be around for long
You drive me mad
to the point where
I start
thinking of the
sharp end of a knife
Set fire to my mind
A blaze rip it all apart
Cool water rush over me
take me to that place
where I want to be

Show me how
to fight for now
for the moment
for my life
for the future
Show me how to live
for our moments
our lives, our future.
The day is gone
when I forgot
how to lose
how to live
how to love
Help me remember
how to win
in love and life

I dream fitfully needing somebody
my heart is still left unbeating in the dark
I need to stir from this numbing hibernation
A spark to ignite some fire into this cold heart
Please, help me, out this silent slumber
I need to hear your voice, your touch, your kiss
to wake me and make my heart beat again

If
my words
were like the winter
the sound
would freeze
before I could
ever mutter
the hurtful things
I said
to you that day

If
my heart
was like the summer
It would
not be frozen
cold and damaged
And I
could warm mine
next to yours
but it is
and I
regret it everyday
