- In Sleep Lyrics / with translationsI lay awake at night and pray
Not to see the light of day
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
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
The scene, a city after dawn
Becomes a field of corn
And 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
I 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
Be with him
I love him, I love him, I love him
Not to see the light of day
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
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
The scene, a city after dawn
Becomes a field of corn
And I've had this one before
Fast asleep where I keep my memories
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
I 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
Be with him
I love him, I love him, I love him
