How Did I Sleep?
With eyes so blind
How did I see a single thing?
I missed the scenery
Change in front of me
And as for these hands
Well they've got a lot to answer for
They built me a house of sand
On someone else's land
Deep down I knew I was lost
But I kept my fingers crossed
As if that would somehow rescue me
Chorus:
How did I sleep?
How did I sleep?
How did I sleep without You?
Without You
Tired all the time
But there is no rest for the wicked
Under the covers I pretended not to cry
And there You were:
Magnified by the tears
Reaching Your hands to me
Waiting patiently
I never dared to dream
Of the morning my eyes have seen
Awake for the first time: rise and shine
Chorus x3
How did I ever try?
How did I sleep?
Rise and Shine; awake for the first time
(Repeat)
How did I see a single thing?
I missed the scenery
Change in front of me
And as for these hands
Well they've got a lot to answer for
They built me a house of sand
On someone else's land
Deep down I knew I was lost
But I kept my fingers crossed
As if that would somehow rescue me
Chorus:
How did I sleep?
How did I sleep?
How did I sleep without You?
Without You
Tired all the time
But there is no rest for the wicked
Under the covers I pretended not to cry
And there You were:
Magnified by the tears
Reaching Your hands to me
Waiting patiently
I never dared to dream
Of the morning my eyes have seen
Awake for the first time: rise and shine
Chorus x3
How did I ever try?
How did I sleep?
Rise and Shine; awake for the first time
(Repeat)
