Confessions of a somnambulist...

I was there,

But you never noticed.

I was there

Before I came to you;

Before you took me in your arms,

(And) before I touched your lips,

I existed.

But you never noticed.

I was there when they fought

For their bread and their land;

I was there when the guns

Roared at the throng of flags.

I played the symphony

For all of them who fell,

But you never listened.

I was there

Before I touched your hands;

Before I bled to the dark,

(And) before you kissed my lips,

I existed,

Full and alive,

But you never noticed.
