Sleeping Souls

forever, forever, ive been dreaming it seems

clutching at shadows and halfway-born dreams

learning to live on the precarious seams

of love and life and the moon

seeing the cold, tasting the fire

knowing the oceans' and volcanoes' ire

whispering secrets by telegraph wire

in love and life and a swoon

waiting for sunset, living for dawn

hoping at last for the hurt to be gone

footprints of dewdrops on a freshly mown lawn

after love and life and our wounds

whispering daylight, swallowing stars

iron to ashes, tracing our scars

always we're searching horizons afar

for love and life and lost tunes.
