Artist: Van Der Graaf Generator Album: Vital Live
Lyrics
(Hammill)
Tonight, before you lay down to the sweetness of your sleep Do you question your surrender to the drop from lover's leap Or does the anaesthetic darkness take hold on its very own? Does your body rise in service with not one dissenting groan? These waking dreams of life and death In the mirror are twisted and buckled Lashes flicker, a catch of breath Skin whitening at the knuckles The army of sleepwalkers shake their limbs and are loose And though I am a talker, I can phrase no excuse Not to rise again In the chorus of the night-time I belong And i, like you, must dance to that moonlight song And in the end I too must pay the cost of this life If all is lost none is known And how could we lose what we've never owned? Oh, I'd search out every knowledge that I could find Unravel all the mysteries of mind If I only had time If I only had time But soon my time is ended... ended, soon my time is ended
