Don't Wake The Children

I’ve been awake for the longest time
Laid out on a tomb with you laid by my side
The morning grey around the blind
Day following day to make our life, all our lives
So don’t wake the children, don’t wake the children just yet

Is this the midway or the end?
Hands over your heart, do you sleep or just pretend?
I’d like to reach across the stone
Each wonderful day that we are flesh as well as bone
So don’t wake the children, don’t wake the children just yet

We both let go and the silence fell
Who’s following who? We go so fast I can’t tell
Let’s steal a day from our own lives
Curl up in the dark and be all ears, be all eyes
So don’t wake the children, don’t wake the children just yet
Don’t wake the children, don’t wake the children just yet
Don’t wake the children, don’t wake the children just yet
Don’t wake the children, don’t wake the children just yet

We could take a day from our own lives
Just steal it, right out of the dark
