Alone and on this darkened road
I dreamt I had to row my way back to you
Alone, the hot sun fries my bones
They’re aching ‘cause I’m old enough to know what to do
I could sit in silence
But when I closed my eyelids
I can see the water crashing down on me
Why do I dream of drowning?
What is it that is hounding me?
I’ll have a cup a coffee to stay awake all night
Alone, these nightmares that I own
are owning me I’m told that I’ll see what they mean
Alone, like a thief caught in the night
I awake to find that I am still home
Am I searching for an answer?
To a question I can’t bare to ask
Why am I afraid to fall asleep tonight?
I could sit in silence
But when I closed my eyelids
I can see the water crashing down on me
Why do I dream of drowning?
What is it that is hounding me?
I’ll have a cup a coffee to stay awake all night
Alone and on this darkened road
I dreamt I had to row my way back to you
