answer me

do you wake up very slowly?

does it take a while before you smile

are your dreams like premonitions

have you lived them through

some people do

i hope you'll answer me with patient eyes

no hurried words

foolish or wise

answer me

answer me with soft silent touches

they'll tell me as much as i need to know

answer me with deep and restful sleeping

and if you dream in sleep

they're yours to keep

no you need not answer me

if we must part

should someone ask

who's touched your heart

perhaps you'll answer me
