keep me from dreaming

There's a thought or a feeling
Burning hole in the bark
Can't stop the bleeding
There's a hole in my meaning
Through it they're watching the spark
Wounds never healing
Keep me from dreaming

Now I'm watching you with one eye shut
I got none to lose when I wake up
And in my sleep I'd fill this void with wonder
With one hand I turn winter into slumber
Now I'm watching myself crawl back up
I won't have to choose if I wake up
And in my sleep I'd fill this void with wonder
With one hand I turn winter into slumber

The lights I caught them stealing
Left me empty for light
The words won't be needed
Not a man to my being
Not here to make a new start
It's not me they see

Now I'm watching you with one eye shut
I got none to lose when I wake up
And in my sleep I'd fill this void with wonder
With one hand I turn winter into slumber
Now I'm watching myself crawl back up
I won't have to choose if I wake up
And in my sleep I'd fill this void with wonder
With one hand I turn winter into slumber
