while_you_slept
sab the world turned
and turned again

while you slept
the war went on
while you slept
humans were born
and humans died

while you slept
we took up new struggles
and let others go

while you slept
everything evolved a little more

while you slept
i got older still

while you slept i created and distroyed
while you slept
the war went on

while you slept
more things died

while you slept
time marched on
and we all marched
in time


we beat the drum but got no prizes
and ne'er a tattoo was in sight

while you slept
we fought on

while you slept
the world kept turning
while you slept


its always nice
to wake to find
that the world keeps turning still

one more step up the evolutionary ladder

moths and angels are both
winged things

every month i am a winged thing as well

while you slept
we fought to keep you safe
the wars we fight every day
with every breath we take
we are fighting still

Jordan I watched you that night
In a bed too small for one
In close quarters
Wraped in beautiful arms
Your eyes shut
While you were sleeping
I could'nt help but watch

Those eyes even shut, are still the most beautiful brown

Soft breath lands here
and here
and here

Waves rise in an ocean of flesh
hands tumble down

threaded tangle of bliss

Warm bodies so close

You kept me warm

Close like a fire

but deep inside

I watched you sleep that night
and i can't get

to sleep again - like that

Rewritten - Jordan I watched you that night
In a bed too small for two
In close quarters
Wraped in beautiful arms
Your eyes shut
While you were sleeping
I couldn't help but watch

Those eyes even shut, are still the most beautiful

Soft breath lands here
and there
and somewhere imbetween

I watched you that night
In a bed too small for two
In close quarters
Held so close
Your eyes shut
While you were sleeping
I couldn't help but watch

Waves rise in an ocean of flesh
hands tumble down
threaded tangle of bliss
Warm bodies so close

You kept me warm
Close like a fire
but deep inside

I watched you sleep that night
I watched over you that night
In a bed too small for one
In close quarters
Buried in warm covers
Your eyes shut
While you were sleeping

I couldn't help but watch
