Lyrics - Touch the Sky

1. Lie Awake
Words by Bill Greenwell and Deborah Jeanne Weitzman
Music by Deborah Jeanne Weitzman © 2007

I lie awake, trying not to make a sound
Thinking that you are also not sleeping
Perhaps you are I am mistaken
And its just the leaves on the trees that you’ve shaken down

• Are you dreaming the sun coming in like a stream
• And the day as a heart that won’t break
• While I lie awake wondering why
• You seem so sleepless

I get up and stand beside the door
Wondering if you can hear what I’m thinking
I guess not ‘cause you lie there as cool as a lake
And I just can’t believe how you can sleep now

• I know that the morning won’t give me the words
• or the meaning I’d like them to have
• oh they never do

and you, are you dreaming the sun coming in like a stream

• and the day as a heart that won’t break
• Why I lie awake wondering why
• You seem so sleepless

Perhaps I am mistaken
And you are really sleeping
And it is just the leaves on the tree that have shaken down.
