the waking sleep

for my soul to reach you

must i always bleed

for my heart to feel you

must it always beat

even the waking sleep

i know time's a wasting

it is chasing me

while the ice is melting

into the sea

even the waking sleep

i know there is a purpose

i know there is an end

i know you are worth it

will i rise again

there's a bridge that's burning

and the water's near

i see you hurtin'

and i watch in fear

will i watch you burning

you i love so dear

even the waking sleep

even the waking sleep
