Dead to the World Lyrics[Verse 1:]
Dead to the world my body was sleeping
On my mind was nothing at all
Come a mist an air so appealing
I'm here a whisper you summoned I called
I formed me a presence whose aspect was changing
Oh he would shift he would not shift at all
We sat for a while he was very engaging
And when he was gone I was gone on a smile
[Chorus:]
With a strange way of walking
And a strange way of breathing
More lives than a cat
That led me astray
All in all he captured my heart
Dead to the world and I just
Slipped away
[Verse 2:]
I heard me a music that drew me to dancing
Lo I turned under his spell
I opened my coat but he never came closer
I bolted the door and I whispered oh well
I laid in the rushes the air was upon me
Wondering well I just couldn't discern
Will he come back come back to me
Oh I whispered will you ever return
[Chorus:]
I was feeling sensations in no dictionary
He was less than a breath of shimmer and smoke
The life in his fingers unwound my existence
Dead to the world alive I awoke
[Chorus:]
With a strange way of walking
And a strange way of breathing
Less than a breath of shimmer and smoke
The life in his finger unwound my existence
Dead to the world alive I awoke
