Sleeper

by Katatonia

Album: Viva Emptiness

O my your fever's high
I lay my hands upon you
O my haven't you heard
The truth is untrue

Now I'm breathing
I could not breath until you did
I'm one second after you
Just a second after you

Someone inside your room
Who is it there behind you
What does he want from you

Sleeper, what did you see
I close the window to the street
Parent died and left their child
Unattented for a while

Now I'm breathing
I could not breath until you did
I'm one second after you
Just a second after you

Someone inside your room
Who is it there behind you
What does he want from you

Sleeper's song will you listen to me sing
The bird is here I can see the edge of his wing
If you die now how can I then live on
Don't give up you must live on
