Sometimes, late at night
My mind tends to wander
Down bends in my life
And my mind tends to ponder

Sometimes it's so much
It'll stay 'til the day
So, there, for the night
Up I stay and I pray

I pray and I wonder
To the stars in the sky
That not another may
Stray me awry

And to die if I do so
For the world will have won
And this face of shame will not
Burn in the sun

That's when I think of you
And the things that you've done
And the warmth of your smile
Like the first ray of sun

And when I think of you
I then almost weep
Because now I'm awake
And now I can't sleep

I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking and thinking
Of dreaming of dreams about
Dreaming with you

Of being with you
Of sleeping with you
And dreaming my dream
To wake up next to you

To hear wires of choirs
Of birds being one
So that they sing their servicing
Song to the sun

To be showered in sunshine
At the moon's demise
And so that I could watch
The sun rise in your eyes

When I see your eyes open
So dim but so bright
And to see that your eyes stole
The stars of the night

For you fled from your bed
In an overnight flight
And you're an angel returning
From spending the night

In the House of our God
In the Kingdom of Heaven
From which dew falls like manna
So your pillow, it leavens

And I'd thank the heavens
If heaven could deal
Such a dream just as dreamy
But have it be real

But if I stop my thinking
And I stop my dreaming
If I stop my wishing
And I stop my seeming

And if it comes true
That I wake next to you
As much as that'd do it
It still wouldn't do

'Cause I'd still watch you sleep
As you breathe and you snore
As you're smiling so sweetly
I'd sleep nevermore

Because I'd be your blanket
Both body and soul
And I'd be your pillow
Your head and your whole

I'd walk in your mind
So that I could burn
All the strings you're tugged from
In tosses and turns

I'd seep in your sleep
Down reality's seams
And then I would swim
In the stream of your dreams

Which would lead to an ocean
We'd lie on the shore
And we'd lie on the sand
And we'd sleep nevermore

But I don't, nonetheless
In reality's luck
And I should just in case
The sun catches me up

But I would if I could
And I can't, so I weep
For now the sun's rising
And now I can't sleep
