Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been awake for the longest time Layin' out in a tomb with you laid by my side The morning gray 'round the blind Day following' day to make our life, all our lives [Chorus] Don't wake the children Don't wake the children Just yet [Verse 2] Is this the mid-way or the end? Hands over your heart Do you sleep or just pretend? I'd like to reach across the stone Each wonderful day that we are flesh as well as bone [Chorus] So, don't wake the children Don't wake the children Just yet [Verse 3] We both let go and the silence fell Who's following who? We go so fast, I can't tell Let's steal a day from our own lives Curl up in the dark and be all ears, be all eyes [Chorus] So, don't wake the children Don't wake the children Just yet Don't wake the children Don't wake the children Just yet Don't wake the children Don't wake the children Just yet Don't wake the children Don't wake the children Just yet [Bridge] We could take a day (We could take a day) From our own lives Just steal it out of the dark We could take a day From our own lives Steal it out of the dark Oo-oooh Oo-oo-oooh Oo-oooh Oo-oo-oooh [Outro] We could take a day Out of our lives Steal it right out of the dark We could take a day Out of our lives We could steal it right out of the dark We could take a day Out of our lives We could steal it right out of the dark We could take a day Out of our lives We could steal it right out of the dark
