Awake, Asleep - Fyfe Dangerfield

Come, come out of the dark and play

Be gone, take another holiday

Don’t groan, you can stay

Life, will you ever make a man of me?

In flight, is all I ever want to be

My unborn child, so much to say

A light, a spark

Scattered though the lovers snow

Whispered in the breeze unknown

You missed the greatest show

Break, breaking off is all we do

Awake, but sleeping at the same time too

We lovers but we’re stars

Grace, make another starlit sky

The place, everything we meant to buy

With the shadow of these cards

A game, a joke

What else could I hope to know?

Something always made us choke

Embers some would say

Awake, asleep

It’s the greatest show on earth

The whole world celebrates your birth

One child, they’ll never know
