(Intro)
I stay awake in the middle of a paradise
You’re sleeping like a bird and it’s fine
My love is good enough
You leave me and the truth
When I dream in your arms
Oh come, come, come on
(Solo I)
You go away in the middle of this burning mind
I’m aching like a dog and it’s fine
My love was good enough
You leave me and the truth
When I cry all the day
Oh come, come, come on
(Whistling)
I stay awake in the middle of a paradise
You’re sleeping like a bird and it’s fine
My love is good enough
You leave me and the truth
When I dream in your arms
Oh come, come, come on
(Solo II)
You go away in the middle of this burning mind
I’m aching like a dog and it’s fine
My love is good enough
You leave me and the truth
When I cry all the day
(Whistling & Outro)
