While the World Is Sleeping

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- ooh
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
