about

10. As You Lie Sleeping
[I met another who was also dreaming, asleep elsewhere in world, in a building with many doors and hallways. It was the secret place where the dead meet the dreaming. Few souls found it. We agreed to meet there on other nights, to exchange knowledge only gathered in that place, and bring to the waking world all we had learned.]

lyrics

the wine's run out and the air is blowing cold
through the window in the dark of my room
you've draped your arm like a shield against heartbreak
across your breast so tender and new
the cars rush past in the street outside my window
headed for places unknown
but I know the only place where I'll never miss you
is a place you can only go alone

so tell me again
tell me as you lie sleeping
tell me which road is right
tell me your dreams
and the secrets you've been keeping
tell me when I join you tonight

under the blanket you keep yourself protected
from the waking world and its every cruel demand
what you lost is no more than you expected
what you kept is more than you understand
yet in the silence of the room wrapped around you
in the silence of the moon's white light
in the silence of your breathing
so even
you're safe from every danger tonight

so tell me again
tell me as you lie sleeping
tell me which road is right
tell me your dreams
and the secrets you've been keeping
tell me when I join you tonight

so sleep my lovely
sleep until the sunrise
sleep until you find another way
back through the mirror of your dream’s still surface
and back into the light of the day
for now I'll lay my head down beside you
no I never thought that you would be mine
I'll try to find where you've gone in the darkness
hold your hand in a place outside time

so tell me again
tell me as you lie sleeping
tell me which road is right
tell me your dreams
and the secrets you've been keeping
tell me when I join you tonight
