While We're Asleep Lyrics

A thousand lovers at dawn
Wonder why they carry on
With their hearts on fire
They'll all conspire to lead
While we're asleep
Maybe they'll decide to believe
In their shaking knees
And their hearts on their sleeves
Can't you see it in their eyes like nothing ever dies (x2)

They don't ask why no they don't ask why
And maybe they'll take our hands
And put us in their plans
And for all us sinners
In our freezing winters, they'll pray
And tonight when we go to sleep
Maybe we'll be able to dream
And we'll rise at dawn
With the strength to carry on
Can't you see it in their eyes like nothing ever dies (x2)

They don't ask why no they don't ask why
