Title: Sleepless Dream
Post by: PianoGirl4444 on April 05, 2006, 07:35:15 pm

Not on my upcoming album, but some of my favorite lyrics:


Twilight...waiting
Anticipating
Starlight to wish by
No cry, only fight
Patient, yet eager
My thoughts, they wander
Into the darkness
My missions are pondered

'Cause all I see are your perfect smile & your working eyes
Can you try to see into mine

Chorus:
All I ask is that you wake me
From this sleepless dream
Just need me, don't keep me
In this sleepless reverie

My arms...naked
My faith is shaken
Daylight sacrificed
In time I'll find my sight
Angry, yet gentle
You're worth it, I'll handle
The pain that it takes
That only you can take away

'Cause all I hear are you perfect words & your worthy thoughts
So I battle on & on

Repeat Chorus

Will you come here
Wake me up, wake me up
So I can sleep again
Let me love, let me love
Will you save me
From what I'd be without you
Would you let me, just let me hold you

'Cause all I hear are your perfect words & your worthy thoughts
So I battle on & on...

Repeat Chorus

I can't rest, can't rest my head
Until I'm safe, I'm safe in your bed

 :D

Excellent Shannon :wink: How recently (Not on Brainstorms) did you write this :?

Thanks!  

Hmm...it was a couple years ago.   8O  :)   It was on "The Something I Believe In."  I'm going to record it again, though, since that didn't do it justice.  And I've changed it a little bit since then.

I really like the chords in the chorus of the "TSIBI" version.  I don't know if you've changed it any since then though.  Overall, I like the refinements in the lyrics.  How come the chorus is so much shorter in this version?

Muchas gracias.   :)  There were too many words in the chorus before--it was very hard to sing & almost impossible for me to sing it well (hehe), so I made it shorter & sweeter.  Right to the point.  That's the biggest change I made.  The chords are still the same 'cause I like them too!

Whoa. I love these lines.  So few words speak volumes! Awesome lyrics.
