I can see you laughing In the smoke of dreams In sepia and tone I can hear you singing With your glass in hand An Irish drinking tune And you told us how you had To drop the bombs on innocent And on unknown And we held your hand In the last long night So you were not alone I'm with you till the fade I'm with you all the way This promise that I've made Is strictly personal I'll keep my childish truth That no one can disprove Unconscious of this world You're only sleeping And you chose my colors And you chose my words Until I had to run away But then I returned To let you get to know The man I am today Now we only have what is left to us And these are selfish times I know But without the comfort And caress of love The garden will not grow I'm with you till the fade I'm with you all the way This promise that I've made Is strictly personal I'll keep this childish truth That no one can disprove Unconscious of this world You're only sleeping You're only sleeping We're only sleeping
