fitful

We waited for love to bring

Were they only the fitful dreams

Of some greater awakening?

I wandered home through silent streets

And fell into a fitful sleep

Escape to realms beyond the night

Chasing demons down until they fall

In fitful sleep, enough to keep their strength

Enough to crawl into my head

It's not a trick, your senses all deceiving

A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust

Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving

Until night's end sleep will not come to me

Then come restless, fitful dreams

Eternal slumber calls me to her arms

So come up singing above the cloudy cover

Stare through at people who toss fitful in their sleep.

I know you're watching as the old gent by the station

Others chalk it up to heartbreak or a passing phase

In fitful sleep you scream

"I'm not supposed to feel this way"

And gives flight to her art.

When April sheds her fitful rain,

Glory be, we may live again.

This house divided, we live inside it.

Hate's dwelling place is behind our door in fitful nights.

Hear it walk the floor and hear it rave as it moans and drags along its ball and chain,

struggles of the broken heart I fear

waking from a fitful sleep

dutifully appointments keep

Always so damn wide

Yes, I've been fitful

And screaming into pillows

Train rolls by about 3 a.m.

Wakes me from a fitful sleep

Got the urge to jump on board

♪

As I'm caught in the arms of a fitful dream

♪

Lies amidst life and death I dream,

And writhe in fitful slumber no-one

Hears mjy silent screams.

is covered in snow

A windy fitful day in winter

charging toward the Ides of May

So come on, set me free from my vain and selfish ways

Your commitment could coerce me into fitful coexistence

My persistence will be boundless, and the future wide and clear

Pursued by a hungry fox

And the broker awoke from a fitful slumber

And consulted his shares and his stocks

The taste of you off of my tongue

Your face from my fitful sleep

And I wait, hope against hope like before

Only in my mind

I fall into a fitful slumber

Opulence is sleep

In the morning you will hear me sing

A breeze to soothe your fitful rest

You'll hold this ghost song to your chest

♪

Watching you in your fitful sleep

There's one thing I pray

And we shake and shiver and laugh like cursing kids

And all our fitful failures fade every time we kiss

So cross your fingers, place your bets

In my friend's old car where I eat and sleep

In my shallow fitful dreams

The air breathes thick, sweet and sick

In the city's lights

A long fitful sleep

And I wonder how i've stayed
