While You Were Sleeping
Elvis Perkins in Dearland

while you were sleepingnthe babies grewnthe stars shined and the shadows movedntime flew, the phone rangnthere was a silence when the kitchen sangnits songs competed like kids for spacenwe stared for hours in our maker's facenthey gave us picksnsaid go mine the sunnand go gold and come back when you're donenwhile you were sleepingnyou tossed, you turnednyou rolled your eyes as the world burnednthe heavens fell, the earth quakedni thought you must be, but you weren't awakenno, you were sleepingnyou ignored the sunnyou grew your power gardennfor your little onesnand you found brides for them on christmas eventhey hung young cain from the adam treesnand dancednwhile you were sleepingni tossed and i turnedntil i closed my eyesnbut the future burnednthrough the planet turned a hair graynas i relived the daynwhile you were sleepingnthe money diednmachines were harmless and the earth sighednthrough the wind you slept soundnand gravity caught my love aroundnthe ocean rose, sang about decaynwhile witches flewnand the mermaids stayednfull of dreams, you oversleptnand keeping with quiet, through the walls i creptni walked on tiptoe, sent darkness swirling over all the kitchen in the early morningni'll never catch up to younwho sleeps so soundnmy arms are uselessnmy heart beats too loud to go to sleepnmy mind's too proud to bow outnwhile you were sleepingnthe time changednall your things were rearrangednyour vampire mirrors face to facenthey saw forever out into spacenand found you dreaming in black and whitenwhile it rained in all the colors of the nightni watched the tvsnmemoriesnchampionshipsnvanished to seancould it be, my honey between you and menso i waited for the riddled skynto be solved again by sunrisenand i've made a death suit for lifenfor my father's ill widowed wifendid you have that strangest dream before you wokencos in your gown you had the butterfly strokendid it escape you like some half told joke?nwhen you reached for your plume of smokenit'll haunt you, my honey beenanyone who is anyone has that same dreamnwere you fallingnwere you flyingnand were you calling outnor were you dyingnthank god you're up nownlet's stay that waynelse there'll be no morningsnand no more daysncos when we're dreamingnour babies grownthe sun shinesnand the shadows flowntime fliesnthe phone ringsnthere is a silencenand everybody tries to sing
