O Sleeper, O Outsider
Words and music by Robin Frederick
Vocals & Synths: Robin Frederick
Drum Programming: Roy Campanella III
Pull the circle tighter
O Sleeper, O Outsider
Is there a place where we can be?
Somewhere deeper, wider
O Sleeper, O Outsider
Don’t wake up
Keep dreaming me.
Whose tears are these?
Do I want to know
Can I ever know
Whose fears are these?
Whose sighs are these?
Whose memories?
Make the circle smaller
And I will surely fall
More softly than a shadow cross a ruin
Somewhere out there it’s brighter
O Sleeper, O Outsider
Where nothing comes between us
But the occasional moon.
Whose thoughts are these?
Even in the dark
I read your troubled heart so easily
Whose smiles are these?
Whose memories?
Pull the circle tighter
O Sleeper, O Outsider
In this moment we are free
Take me somewhere higher
O Sleeper, O Outsider
Don’t wake up
Keep dreaming me.
