I liek awake in my bed
The ghost of your arms around me
The phantom of your kisses (my lips)
A flicker of your eyes (my tears)
A lie awake yet dreaming
A reel of images past
The street lights out still glimmer
A touch, a tear, a sigh (Can you)
[CHORUS]
Tell me why (why)
I can't live without you
Tell me why (why)
Sleep's withdrawn from my eyes
What did I do to end this?
What did I do (or not)?
How could I be so foolish--
And you so, oh, unkind (2x)?
Why was I so discarded
You left with no goodbyes
Solemn eyes stare past me
Into a void, a lonely night
A laughinstock of love
Fate banned from any feeling
Your ephemeral touch
Blind tears, deaf sighs (oh..)
CHORUS
I suppose I must go on
An oath to strength (a blunder)
I stare into the sunrise
Heart wretched, wet with tears
Please let me be mistaken
This love have gone unwasted
Please tell me to go on (and on)
In a lifetime never ending (And, please)
CHORUS
And tell me why i can sleep--
tonight.
