Dead to the world my body was sleeping?
On my mind was nothin? at all
Come a mist, an air so appealing
I?m here a whisperin', you summoned, I called
verse 2
I formed me a presence whose aspect was changing?
Oh, he would shift, he would not shift at all
We sat for a while, he was very engaging?
And when he was gone, I was gone on a smile
With a strange way of walking?
And a strange way of breathing?
More lives than a cat that led me astray
All in all, he captured my heart
Dead to the world and I just slipped away
verse 3
I heard me a music that drew me to dancing?
Lo, I turned under his spell
I opened my coat but he never came closer
I bolted the door and whispered, oh well
With a strange way of walking?
And a strange way of breathing?
More lives than a cat that led me astray
All in all, he captured my heart
Dead to the world and just slipped away
Instrumental
verse 4
I laid in the rushes, the air was upon me
Wondering?, well, I just couldn't discern
Will he come back, come back to me?
Oh, I whispered will you ever return?
Verse 5
I was feeling? sensations in no dictionary
He was less than a breath of shimmer and smoke
The life in his fingers unwound my existence
Dead to the world alive I awoke
With a strange way of walking?
And a strange way of breathing?
Less than a breath of shimmer and smoke
The life in his fingers unwound my existence
Dead to the world alive I awoke
