Sleepwalker

Lyrics for Sleepwalker

I lived my life alone before you And with thoughts that I'd never succeed into love And I grew so accustomed to that kind of solitude Ah, 'fore you I did not know how to give it up Before you, had I ever known love Or had I only known misuse Of the power another had over me The power another had over me I'll cross the country and I carry no key Couldn't all look up at the stars from anywhere? And sometimes I did, I felt ancient But still I sought peace and it never came to me They often spoke as though I have been set free But I traveled only service of my dreams I stood before them all, I was a sleepwalker Couldn't hold my misery down Not even for you It bore me on all the places I ever gone I grew so accustomed to that kind of solitude But that long for you now, even when you just leave the room Of all the roads in the cities that I passed through Of all of the eyes that I searched inside The one sense of permanence I felt was mine Only beneath your gaze
