"Awake" lyrics

"Awake"

Wake me, wake me my darling
Shake me if I cry out, will you?
Wake me, wake me my darling
In the city, my dreams aren't my own
If the shelter holds
Oh light of mine
Sing me a song...
Of brand new grace
Of how we are breaking
How we'll hang on
Or let go

Wake me, wake me my darling
Tell me just before dawn comes
Wake me, wake me my darling
With a touch, cool on my thigh
A fire will start
And ruin the pines
Wishing I only had his heart
Craving a king
Of edges and lines
Now jagged and lightning...

Wake me, wake me my darling
See me, see how I've laid too long
Wake me, wake me my darling
In the morning meet me again
With head and heart
Wide and awake
Hot bread and butter break again
Will you my darling? Will you hang on?
How have I come to dream at all?
