SHALLOW SLEEP (english ensemble)
I just saw you,
Beyond the course of time,
A room that we once shared,
But my memory' s a haze,
Forgetting what was said
I gently held out my hand,
And in that perfect moment,
You disappeared, I lost you over again.
In a shallow sleep I dreamt I was seeing you,
Just how I remembered,
Brimming with tenderness,
And somewhere in the calm,
A feeling that nothing had ever changed
You presence close beside me till I wake.
I just saw you,
A moment far too brief,
Before the daylight came,
But my heart is beating fast,
Perhaps we' ll meet again.
In a shallow sleep I dreamt I was seeing you,
Just how I remembered,
Brimming with tenderness,
And somewhere in the calm,
A feeling that nothing had ever changed,
Your presence close beside me till I wake.
I see you, until I wake from shallow sleep.
An artist without a brush,
Can't paint upon the canvas,
Without you here - there is no colour,
A colourless landscape.
In a shallow sleep I dreamt I was seeing you,
Just how I remembered ,
Brimming with tenderness,
And somewhere in the calm,
Your presence close beside me till I wake.
I see you, shallow sleep.“
