How Did I Sleep Lyrics

How Did I Sleep lyrics

With eyes so blind

How did I see a single thing?

I missed the scenery

Change in front of me



And as for these hands

Well they've got a lot to answer for

They built me a house of sand

On someone else's land



Deep down I knew I was lost

But I kept my fingers crossed

As if that would somehow rescue me



Chorus:

How did I sleep?

How did I sleep?

How did I sleep without You?

Without You



Tired all the time

But there is no rest for the wicked

Under the covers I pretended not to cry



And there You were:

Magnified by the tears

Reaching Your hands to me

Waiting patiently



I never dared to dream

Of the morning my eyes have seen

Awake for the first time: rise and shine



(Chorus)
