Album version Lyrics:
If I’m innocent when I dream
Then I’ll be dreaming
Don’t wake me
I’m not even here
Not even death could lay its hands on me
I’m fast asleep and can’t be guilty
Wake me when the dust has settled
Then just give it to me straight
Is there anything that’s left?
And kill me if there’s cause for weeping
Until then I will be sleeping
Not even death could lay its hands on me
I’m fast asleep and can’t be guilty
Please don’t let me know what’s coming
If you should find a way to
Not even if it comes for us
Because by the time that it does
It will be so much stronger than the two of us
But you could close your eyes and go to sleep with me
As long as we do we can’t be guilty
