Title:
“Awake in Dreams”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] I heard your voice in the [G] midst of the dark
[Am] Whispering words that lit a [Em] spark
[Dm] In the corners of my mind, [G] trapped in time
[C] With your silhouette against the [G] moon so stark.
(Chorus)
[Am] We’re awake in dreams, [G] lost in screams
[Dm] Dancing on the edge of [G] love’s extremes
[C] Come, let’s drown in this [G] starry stream
[Am] For even in silence, our hearts [G] scream.
(Verse 2)
[C] Your touch was a [G] forgotten song
[Am] In the echo of a love [Em] so strong
[Dm] In the hush of the night, [G] under the soft light,
[C] Our hearts beat a rhythm [G] all night long.
(Chorus)
[Am] We’re awake in dreams, [G] lost in screams
[Dm] Dancing on the edge of [G] love’s extremes
[C] Come, let’s drown in this [G] starry stream
[Am] For even in silence, our hearts [G] scream.
