You appeared when I was lost in reverie
|
If this is not a dream, it's my mistake
|
And now I lie in wait for dawn to break
|
I'm fairly sure I'm wide awake
|
|
Pardon me, if I seem distant and strange
|
Just tell me when did I stop dreaming?
|
Let me get this straight
|
Did I hallucinate?
|
This fine and helpless feeling
|
Tell me when did I stop dreaming?
|
|
Let me know if you can help me explain
|
I didn't recognise the danger
|
But people will talk
|
Was I just sleepwalking?
|
Footprints left on the ceiling
|
Tell me when did I stop dreaming?
|
|
Then why should you care?
|
This is my nightmare
|
Was this one dream too deep?
|
Now if I could only sleep
|
|
Answer me, if you see the end in sight
|
I'm just a soul who's lost in limbo
|
Neither bad or good
|
I'd spare you now if I could
|
One more teardrop
|
Then I'll wake up
|
Tell me when did I stop dreaming?
|
