Xerxes Sleepwalking With You
When you hit the water
I hardly knew
When the sunlight changed
Through the waves, you say
There was a song it sang
I still say
I could see what you saw that day
How the lights were so different
But felt the same
Maybe I could hear you scream
I still have that dream
I'm still sleepwalking
My feet wet in the stream
It starts at your fists
Under your clutch
But it escapes and ends up
At the place between your shoulders
That I never touch
Before I left I said
Nothing can stay
You know the past has a way
Of breaking up these days
Into pieces that never fit quite the same
But I'll hold this together
Even with the edges frayed
I could feel my fingers graze
The air your lips betray
Like a dying flame
Screaming with smoke
Until it fades
For that feeling when you're alone
Its a cloud that surrounds
And it holds you now
Because I don't
And when I wrote
I hoped love would save you
I meant mine
And I dragged my palms
Through the gulf of your dreams
Just hoping your song would play for me too
And when i wrote
I hoped love would save you
I meant mine
And I dragged my palms
Through the gulf of your dreams
Hoping your song would play for me
And when I wrote
I still feel alone
You were watching me write
I just didn't know
