Eyes on my forehead,
fire in my ears.
I'm trying hard to forget.
And you're not here.
You're turning round and round in my feverish mind.
I put my arms around you.
I'm making love
to the sheets.
My trembling
fingers lose all grip while the anger shakes underneath.
I see you rise behind the never-ending skyline.
Shelter me now.
Tell me how can I fall asleep when I'm dreaming of you?
Sirens on silent streets
remind me of
the day
that I felt your heart beat close to me
while you were miles away.
I see you rise behind the never-ending skyline.
Now I am back on my planet.
I'm back in a town
with no bliss.
I feel no pain.
I feel
waves of panic
about the lock in love I've missed.
Shelter me now.
Tell me how
can I fall asleep
when I'm dreaming of you?
Shelter me now.
Won't you tell me how
can I fall asleep?
You went at such a pace
I couldn't even make out your face.
And now I'm trying,
lying awake to picture you in this carousel.
My
brush
is painting circles,
but your face doesn't show up.
All I can do is feel you.
You're a feeling I just can't stop.
Shelter me now.
Won't you tell me how can I fall asleep?
You went at such a pace I couldn't even make out your face.
And now I'm trying,
lying awake to picture you in this carousel.
