As I Was Sleeping

lyrics

As I was sleeping,
My eyes fell down
To pain that we were passing all around.

I knew no sorrows,
Heard not a single sound.
I put my sword and shield down on the ground.

I felt a peace encircling me
That warmed much like your arms,
And suddenly my dreams released
A shelter from wars harms.

When I awoke dear,
I tried to pull you near,
Find safety in our bodies passing fear,

But I was startled.
Another’s cradling touch
Protected me from death with heart of lust.

I know there is no recompense
To pay for what I’ve done,
And worse than that, the woman in my arms
Is my true love.

The other woman
Is my true love.

So keep the life and home we made,
And take our only son.
Tell him that his daddy’s died,
And never will return.


And never will return.

And never will return.

And never will return.
