Testo While You Were Sleeping

Shadows long upon my face
Shadows long upon my face
She's gone on the last train
Never thought that she would go
Never thought that she would go
Now I'm all on my own

Oh I've been hit
The love affair is over
And I know that I'm alone
Need a day I need a night
Need a day I need a night
I know I'm gonna see the light
Lover's darkness on my head
Lover's darkness on my head
And it's all a shade of red

If you think that I'm afraid
Never knew what I am made
Remember all the things in you
And everything you put me through
Here's a little lullaby
Wash your tears and don't you cry
Cause you are inside of me
Leave my heart and let me be
In your lonely crowded life
To a place beyond the sky
Where our love won't fade away
Waiting to be born again
Waiting to be next to me
Weight of sorrow weight of gold
Way our words can now unfold
Way you couldn’t let me stay
Live my life and walk away
I’ll be there and so will you
When the known is in its power
When the young is in its flower
You reached out to fill a need
Walked away in word and deed
Go and haunt my dreams no more
In a silence in a room
In a quiet in a mood
I’ll remember everyday
That your promise never gave
Never to return again
Those in love do what they need
Light a candle plant a seed
I’ll return when things have changed
Live and die and born again
Through the night and through the way Painted pictures in your mind
Can you leave it all behind
Loss and love and live again
Shake my hand and call me friend
Hate will be the death of you
Stranger sorrow let me go
Down a dark and lonely road
Ways of light to show my way
Ways of love to heal my pain
All of this I ask in you
