sleeping, sleeping

now that it's late
after the party and the people
we follow our fate
to the skyline
up on the roof
part of the heaven we ascend to
show me the proof
you've been pondering
eyes are wandering

while the world is sleeping
with its shades pulled down and dreaming
high above those shadows
stars speak what we know

lend me your ear
i'll be your poet and your best friend
recite all the years
far below us
and here in the sky
time is a temptress and a teacher
a laugh or a sigh
what's the difference
lies or innocence

while the world is sleeping
with its shades pulled down and dreaming
high above those shadows
stars speak what we know
sleeping

yeah while the world is sleeping
with its shades pulled down and dreaming
high above those shadows
stars speak what we know
while the world is....
with its shades pulled down and dreaming
high above those shadows
stars speak what we know
sleeping
sleeping
