The second you sleep

This morning I suddenly realized that my Saybia CD had been on the bottom of my collection for a too long time. Saybia to me, that Danish wonder, is bittersweet, painful, longing, straight from the heart, piercing the soul, wonderful music, a masterpiece. My favourite for ever is The second you sleep. Please right-click the link and enjoy the song in a new window, so that you can read the lyrics while listening. This is what it's all about, when the heart cries silently.

The second you sleep

You close your eyes
And leave me naked by your side
You close the door so I can’t see
The love you keep inside
The love you keep for me

It fills me up
It feels like living in a dream
It fills me up so I can’t see
The love you keep inside
The love you keep for me

I stay
To watch you fade away
I dream of you tonight
Tomorrow you’ll be gone
It gives me time to stay
To watch you fade away
I dream of you tonight
Tomorrow you’ll be gone
I wish my God you’d stay

I stay awake
I stay awake and watch you breathe
I stay awake and watch you fly
Away into the night
Escaping through a dream

I stay
To watch you fade away
I dream of you tonight
Tomorrow you’ll be gone
It gives me time to stay
To watch you fade away
I dream of you tonight
Tomorrow you’ll be gone
I wish my God you’d stay

Hey
Stay

I stay
To watch you fade away
I dream of you tonight
Tomorrow you’ll be gone
It gives me time to stay
To watch you fade away
I dream of you tonight
Tomorrow you’ll be gone
It gives me time to stay
To watch you fade away
I dream of you tonight
Tomorrow you’ll be gone
I wish my God you’d stay

Stay awake
Stay
Stay

I wish my God you’d stay
