i couldn't sleep last night
and i resolved to be perennial in my love;
death has become my reason
and i know i always have the choice
(that is all the power i need --)i couldn't sleep last night
and i resolved to dream all the same:
i want love to guide my hand
but sometimes it is not enoughand please know, i want it to be so,
i want you to be all that i ever want
and i know i can do better, if i try
but i don't know if it'll be enough,
and the shame i'll feelwhen everyone sees my skin fresh again --
and i couldn't sleep last night, i resolved
to be better than i am. i dreamt
of all the sorrow breathing away --i couldn't sleep last night
and in my closed eyes i was your young bride,
a laced creature that could never die
and all the nightmares, they faded away
like darkness in the new day --i couldn't sleep last night
and i resolved to find an answer:
i don't know if it was real or just a dream;
the day with you in that rosy gleam.
