Asleep Lyrics

How long my friend

Have I been asleep

Funny how near you were to my ear

But I didn't hear a peep

How long have I been asleep

How long my friend

Have I not been here

Or was that me I passed in the street

Smiling from my hemisphere

How long have I not been here

The answer's in the asker

Is this freedom or disaster

Walking through folly

A forest of fall leaves

That fell where we felt it once…maybe twice

How long my friend

Have I lived in fear

But I like being alone, I like being alone

A duet for one drum through the years

How long have I lived in fear

The answer's in the asker

Is this freedom or disaster

Walking through folly

A forest of fall leaves

That fell where we felt it once…maybe twice

How long my friend

Have I been asleep

I think last year the truth found my ear

But I didn't hear a peep

How long have I been asleep

I think it must have been deep
