when all eyes are closed

in my dreams we sit by silver lakes
under moon and sparse star sky
you whisper to me from you heart
without single breath or sigh

i too send you my soul's desires
yet this time we only sit
kept motionless by our waking lives
to which we remain true
there was a time i couldn't believe
i'd ever be without you

oh sleep, take me fast
to see my true love's face
for nothing in this reality
could ever take his place
and only when all eyes are closed
can our love again be right

your touch was once enough
to warm my entire universe
but now i can only have it
on the other side of wake
all the same it's still enough
to make me radiate

i'll never say the truth out loud
of how you'd pull me close
you'd kiss my neck and then my lips
i felt our bodies merge
your hand upon my back
i can no longer resist
engulfed in true love's passion
the moment becomes ours
just as it was then when
our love was real for hours

oh sleep, take me fast
to see my true love's face
nothing in this reality
could ever take his place
only when all eyes are closed
can our love again be right

i asked you once
"go to the top of this world
and tell me how it fills you"
your heart heard my words
purest of form in night
only when all eyes are closed
can our love again be right
