1
Dead to the world my body was sleepin'
2
On my mind was nothin' at all
3
Come a mist, an air so appealing
4
I'm here a whisperin', you summoned, I called
5
I formed me a presence whose aspect was changin'
6
Oh, he would shift, he would not shift at all
7
We sat for a while, he was very engagin'
8
And when he was gone, I was gone on a smile
9
With a strange way of walkin'
10
And a strange way of breathin'
11
More lives than a cat that let me astray
12
All in all, he captured my heart
13
Dead to the world and I just slipped away
14
I heard me a music that drew me to dancin'
15
Lo, I turned under his spell
16
I opened my coat but he never came closer
17
I bolted the door and whispered, oh well
18
With a strange way of walkin'
19
And a strange way of breathin'
20
More lives than a cat that let me astray
21
All in all, he captured my heart
22
Dead to the world and just slipped away
23
I laid in the rushes, the air was upon me
24
Wonderin', well, I just couldn't discern
25
Will he come back, come back to me?
26
Oh, I whispered will you ever return?
27
I was feelin' sensations in no dictionary
28
He was less than a breath of shimmer and smoke
29
The life in his fingers unwound my existence
30
Dead to the world alive I awoke
31
With a strange way of walkin'
32
And a strange way of breathin'
33
Less than a breath of shimmer and smoke
34
The life in his fingers unwound my existence
35
Dead to the world alive I awoke
36
Alive I awoke
37
(Alive)
38
Alive I awoke
39
(Alive I awoke)
40
Alive
41
(I awoke)
42
I awoke
43
(I awoke)
44
I awoke
45
(Alive)
46
Alive, alive, oh
47
(Alive)
48
(Alive)
49
Alive, alive, oh
50
Alive, alive, oh
