I have a story that
you may like to hear/
If you would be so kind
as to lend me your ear/
Just don't wake me up/
This story starts in a forest
on a lonely night/
Where in the mist I can make
out a fading light/
Just don't wake me up/
So empty
this hole in which we sin/
So empty
your soul and let me in/
[X2]
I see her there/
oblivious, she stares/
into a world/
that only she knows/
I try to speak
with words running deep/
But she doesn't want to know
of a world outside her own window/
So empty
this hole in which we sin/
So empty
your soul and let me in/
[X2]
My story I'm afraid
is coming to an end/
And we've just been tracing
back to where we began/
Just don't wake me up/
So empty
this hole in which we sin/
So empty
your soul and let me in/
[X2]
I wrote this down
and hid it well/
Just a memory of
a mutual hell/
Endure the pain
through all the frost
and hope the fire
is never lost/
