Take What You Will
(Gunn/Willcox/Geballe/Beavis)
Take what you will
In a dark, moonlit state
Collecting with a skill
>From my disarray
Tip toe quickly
Round my sleeping bed
Moving silently outside my dreaming head
Picking up my clothing
Dropping it in the floor
Thinking no one's noticing
You steppin through my door
Taking what you will
I'd never been so happy
Take what you will
Creeping round the hallway
Taking all the silver
Taking all my photos
Taking all the jewellery
Taking all there is of me
My deep deep sleep
Standing in the breathing dark
Sliding down the bannisters
Glide into the living room
Sitting on my sofa
Reading through my diary
Getting to know me better
Enjoying my life story
The critic, the assessor
Dreaming big big shadows
Long long shadows
Moving moving shadows
Shadows of my former self
Breaking all the windows
Dreaming big big shadows
Long long shadows
Moving moving shadows
My deep deep sleep
You never
My deep deep sleep
But you never touched me
Or woke me with a kiss
My deep deep sleep
As you carried me
Across the threshold
My deep deep deep deep deep deep sleep
You never touched me sleep
