I lay awake at night and pray Not to see the light of day And I wonder how to behave right He has left me such a mess Counting to protest My mind can't get no rest Fast asleep where I keep my memories He's calling me out in dreams He visits me What will be? Will I see him again soon? Oh, oh, oh, oh Why am I so terrified of waking? He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him It seems a city after dawn Becomes a field of corn I've had this one before Fast asleep where I keep my memories Calling me out in dreams He visits me What will be? Will I see him again soon? Oh, oh, oh, oh Why am I so terrified of waking? He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him AndI know that when the story ends The one that's in my head Well, I'll be alone again Why am I so terrified of waking? He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him Why am I so terrified of waking? He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him Be with him I love him, I love him, I love him
