Dead asleep


In a waterside village
In the heat of July
A man and his wife
Settled down for the night
In the morning
He woke to a horrible sight

It's all just so tragic
An unusual case
The violent result
Of a fatal mistake
How can he be to blame?
He was never awake

Wake up
What have I done?
I was dead asleep
Wake up
Can you send someone?
I'm not insane
I was dead asleep

Scrambling in the darkness
In fear for his life
Certain a killer broke in
He fumbles for a weapon
Reaches for a knife
A sleepwalking murder begins

It was a vivid encounter
A realistic fight
And now he's got blood on his hands
He stands over the body
Sees it's his wife
A nightmare he can't understand

I must confess, it was me
I needed to silence the screams
She suffered a brutal attack
A shockingly violent act

Wake up
What have I done?
I was dead asleep
Wake up
Can you send someone?
I'm not insane
I was dead asleep

Out of my mind
Out of my body
Someone's been killed
I am sorry
Out of control
All out of answers
Maybe one day you'll forgive me

Wake up
What have I done?
I was dead asleep
I must have been dreaming
I have no memory of anything

We strongly suspect you're feeling a sense of despair
No one knows of the guilt that you bear
In the eyes of the law, you are free
You are innocent

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
