Its like we were never truly part of the scheme
as if everybody walked around
us
in a dream
and we slept the night on through
without a kiss
or a thought of you

i couldn't help but pass the time
with a story and rhyme
and your eyes
were listening
as they drifted on and off to sleep
to your subconscious
where you think and feel and weep
and keep
and hide
the truth on the inside.
