lyrics

When I sleep my subconscious keeps singing your name. It seems very much that you've seeped into my brain. At night when my body is a-resting from the day I find that my mind still has something to say.

And it's you to surface in the blue, blue dark. You're light, we're quiet and the music starts to play. It warms all the points of the star of my heart and we glow like a house in the forest in the dark.

When I'm waking I try not to think of you dear. My thoughts fly in all directions into the clear wide sky and I do my best every day to get by. Sometimes it's enough. The rest I just slide down the line.

It's you to surface in the blue, blue dark. You're light, we're quiet and the music starts to play. Your hand finds mine and that's where it wants to stay. We drift through the bliss of my dream and forget the day.

When I seek some peace, oh, when I search for real release from fear and sorrow, loss and grief, your eyes rise and you're what brings relief. Baby, you turn over my new leaf.

It's still you to surface in the blue, blue dark. You're light, we're quiet and the music starts to play. It warms all the points of the star of my heart and we glow like a house in the forest in the dark. Ooo ooo! In the dark, in the dark.
