 The words had all been spoken

 And somehow the feeling still wasn t right

And still we continued on through the night

Tracing our steps from the beginning

 Until they vanished into the air

Trying to understand how our lives had led us there

Looking hard into your eyes

 There was nobody I d ever known

 Such an empty surprise to feel so alone

 Now for me some words come easy

 But I know that they don t mean that much

 Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch

You never knew what I loved in you

 I don t know what you loved in me

Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be

 Awake again I can t pretend that I know I m alone

 And close to the end of the feeling we ve known

How long have I been sleeping

How long have I been drifting alone through the night

 How long have I been dreaming I could make it right

 If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might

 To be the one you need

 Awake again I can t pretend that I know I m alone

 And close to the end of the feeling we ve known

How long have I been sleeping

How long have I been drifting alone through the night

 How long have I been running for that morning flight

 Through the whispered promises and the changing light

 Of the bed where we both lie

 Late for the sky
