While You Were Sleeping

Go on, shut those eyes
Sleep through the winter
Grey's never been much for cheer

Roll on into dream now, my boy
No snow to shovel, no heart to mend
You've escaped,and it's time to reap the benefits

Just know that you'll never wake up,
Never take that euphoric long stretch of restfulness,
And certainly never remember the dream

Your wife, she's married
Your home, they found a new hero
Your life, it's a nightmare

Alas, REM calls and who am I to compete?
I'm so very sorry
I wish we could be here when you wake
