lyrics

Out sleepwalking in the night,
I hope I'm dressed and wearing white,
A lost soul with no true destination,
I failed another lover's probation,
To wander aimlessly through moonlight.
Rivers of delusion,
Oceans of confusion,
Searching like an old soul,
Seeking out an ancient goal,
Trying to decipher,
Phrases of a lighter way,
To find the day.

Maybe when my eyes aren't tired,
Maybe when my head's not wired,
It'll fade away,
I don't know why I have to rhyme,
Question all of space and time,
Meditate and pray.

Out sleepwalking in the night,
I hope I'm dressed and wearing white,
A lost soul with no true destination,
Failed another lover's probation,
To wander aimlessly through moonlight.

How I got here,
Is a mystery to me,
I found refuge,
In the arms of this tree,
Walk in semi-slumber,
Feelings that I'm under,
Make sense of total nonsense,
Can't understand a word I say.

Maybe when my eyes aren't tired,
Maybe when my head's not wired,
It'll fade away.

Piece together memories,
I'm holding my car keys,
My thoughts are slippery thunder,
Emotions that I'm under,
Don't cease, to tease.
My mind will have to find peace,
Before it can piece together,
The treasures it's hidden away.
I don't know why I have to rhyme,
Question all of space and time,
Meditate and pray.

Problems beyond all we see,
Yet children solve them naturally,
Incomprehensible, not quite sensible,
But I don't want to be,

Out sleepwalking in the night,
I hope I'm dressed and wearing white,
Dawn is finally breaking,
My heart is truly aching,
I find it quite surprising,
The sun again is rising,
Out sleepwalking in the night.
