Sleeper

I’m constantly sleeping while you are away From one dream to another I roam Like people change stations, and trains in soft sway Deliver them where to they go When I wake up and there’s no sign around That could remind me of you I’m falling asleep and the day without sound Falls in the evening blue There’s no destination in dreams to arrive On every station and street I look for your face and this keeps me alive Seems easy to live on a feet I’m sleeping for years while you are away Excuse me for this, if I’m wrong But I’ll be awakened when you come to stay As soon as you turn the light on.
