A Dream Of Sleep Lyrics

The light shone through the room,
it flickered, then pierced through the gloom,
and I opened, squinted and blinked -
I wouldn’t be if I couldn’t think,

I lay there and I looked around, I listened but there was no sound,
Vaguely numb, I floated there and listlessly I tried to care,
Shake off last night’s dream of sleep - a memory that I long to keep,
It flickered - sparkled in my mind, a notion that I had to find,

Listen - the night falls again, the sleep dream - my fickle friend

Soar higher on dreamtime lines - blinding like an Eagle prime,
Look down across the plane - my dream of sleep comes round again,
Letting go of other worlds, I watch them flowing, white like pearls,
Gleam, flicker, fade away - the last time I can feel today,

Take a chance on one new thought, my time is passing so I kept it short,
It trickles, sand through fingertips, passing by like night-time blips,

Listen - the night falls again, the sleep dream - my fickle friend

Dancing, new dream, see what I see,
way out my moment, things that I’d hoped yet,

Sunlight warm upon my face - it’s dainty fingers soft like lace,
Drifting back now, slow this time - the dream of sleep forever mine,
It’s compelling - I agree, the one time I was truly free,
My will was mine, my world was too - I did all that I’d longed to do,

They say contentment is the key, forgotten dreams live on through me,
‘till day hits home, they fall away, there’s nothing I’d have left to say

Listen - the night falls again, the sleep dream - my fickle friend
