lyrics

i hear you breathe from down the hall
and i feel your footsteps though
they're not very loud
i see your dreams with my slumbering eyes
and i share your fear as the storm descends

and though my hands are full, it's not enough
i'm not content to fall asleep inside love

if i were the praying type i would pray to your
crooked smile or the freckles on your arm
is there a better place to store my faith
than in your skin?

and though my hands are full, it's not enough
i'm not content to fall asleep inside love

let's find a place to rest where there is no noise,
except for the wind bowing the beams,
a place to sleep where there are no dreams except
for the echoes of far-away things.

and though my hands are full, it's not enough
i'm not content to fall asleep inside love
