Waking Life

from Unbound by Marina Evans

/

lyrics

Your lips tasted like grapes
Plucked from the vine
They were pressed, and aged
With love and time

Your eyes, ooh they held me
Wrapped up in your blue
Where no one could ever tell me
These dreams just weren't true

When I see you in the daylight
It's dizzy deja vu
Like Proust's madeleine
You set me spinning

But I'm not waiting 'round no more
For you to come a-knocking on my door
I tried to tell you with my eyes
But I'm too shy
So I'll see you tonight
Far from this waking life

We swayed on a silver dune
You were writing letters in the sand
The words to the sea's familiar tune
That I heard, but didn't understand

Above our heads a big balloon
Floated through the sky
And for a moment covered the moon
And you asked me, Why

Is it only in the moonlight
We see eye to eye?
Then the tide comes in
And away you spin

'Cause you're not waiting round no more
For a dreamer who's afraid to leave her shore
Over the horizon breaks the light
Where we go at night
Isn't so far from this waking life

You're not waiting round no more
For a dreamer who's afraid to leave her shore
Then over the horizon breaks the light
Where we go at night
Isn't so far from this waking life
