lyrics

I've only seen it in a film all black and white dressed like a dream
It's been weeks since dialogues ensued between you and me
Countless windows light the night up like a beacon on the sea
Your excuses, please excuse me, are hardly worth listening to

You've been soaking too long in your sad memories
You've been sulking too long in your blue melodies
Please save a refrain for me

Oh dear sleep, take me away, I want to sleep my life away
But alas, it wouldn't help, I'd see you in my dreams as well
Pictures vivid in my mind like grains of sand washed out in tides
Skies of grey block the sun, ties to you are cut and gone
I close my eyes, but sleep won't come
I close my eyes, but sleep won't come

You've been soaking too long in your sad memories
You've been sulking too long in your blue melodies
Wrapped inside this cocoon of warmth I never intend to leave
Let the world keep on spinning as though I'm not missing
Perhaps I'll awake in a week

My mind has gone to Paris to dream forever
Please don't wake me or disturb my slumber
