My Leg is Asleep
can I ask you a favour
won’t you stay awake
and whisper me a prayer
in the dark I’m lonely
but when you take my hand
I start breathing slowly
My leg is asleep
but my head’s awake
my mind’s been wandering
to another place
Maybe it’s my ability to dream
that creates the nightmares
maybe it what I have seen
that I can not share
Why can’t I speak, girl
when I got something on my mind
I can’t find the socket for the light
won’t you help me?
what do I seek, girl
why can’t I find peace inside
I just want the pain to subside
Won’t you help me?
Break my heart crush my soul, girl
it makes me feel alive
that’s the only way I thrive, girl
and then It goes away, girl
there’s nothing more to hide
no tears, no pain, girl
Maybe it’s my ability to dream
that creates the nightmares
maybe it what I have seen
that I can not share
Why can’t I speak, girl
when I got something on my mind
I can’t find the socket for the light
won’t you help me?
what do I seek, girl
why can’t I find piece inside
I just want the pain to subside
won’t you help me?
