Shallow Sleep
english ensemble
Hyde
I just saw you
Beyond the course of time
A room that we once shared
But my memory's a haze
Forgetting what was said
I gently held out my hand
And in that perfect moment
You disappeared - I lost you over again
In a shallow sleep I dreamt I was seeing you
Just how I remembered
Brimming with tenderness
And somewhere in the calm
A feeling that nothing had ever changed
Your presence close beside me till I wake
I just saw you
A moment far too brief
Before the daylight came
But my heart is beating fast
Perhaps we'll meet again
In a shallow sleep I dreamt I was seeing you
Just how I remembered
Brimming with tenderness
And somewhere in the calm
A feeling that nothing had ever changed
Your presence close beside me till I wake
I see you - until I wake from shallow sleep
An artist without a brush
Can't paint upon the canvas
Without you here - there is no colour
A colourless landscape
In a shallow sleep I dreamt I was seeing you
Just how I remembered
Brimming with tenderness
And somewhere in the calm
A feeling that nothing had ever changed
Your presence close beside me till I wake
I see you - shallow sleep
