I want to tell you I've watched the waves That wake the sea The lightning that wakes up the ground And my heart has been half asleep inside of me It wakes up when you come around I want to tell you I've watched the moon That trips the tide The shadows that trip on the tree And I'm wearing a blindfold, a shoelace untied I'm steady when you're next to me I've been half asleep all of my life Lost in the dark of some perilous night Is that you or some beautiful light Finally coming around And my heart has been half asleep all of my life It wakes up when you come around It wakes up when you come around
