while you were sleeping
i tossed, i turned.
i closed my eyes
but the future burned.
the planet turned a hair gray
as i relived the day.
while you were sleeping
the money died.
machines were harmless and the earth sighed.
through the wind you slept sound
and gravity caught my love around.
the ocean rose, sang about decay
while witches flew
and the mermaids stayed
full of dreams, you overslept
and keeping quiet, through the walls i crept
i walked on tiptoe, sent darkness swirling over all the kitchen in the early morning.
i'll never catch up to you
who sleeps so sound
my arms are useless
my heart beats too loud
to go to sleep
my mind's too crowded
while you were sleeping
the time changed
all your things were rearranged
