Sleepwalker Lyrics - Artist : Byrne, Julie
I lived my life alone before you
And with those that I'd never succeeded to love And I grew so accustomed to that kind of solitude I fought 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 crossed the country and I carried no key Couldn't I 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 had been set free But I traveled only in 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've ever gone And I grew so accustomed to that kind of solitude But I long for you now Even when you just leave the room And of all the roads and the cities that I passed through And of all the eyes I have searched inside The one sense of permanence that I came to feel was mine Only beneath your gaze |
