While I Was Writing

I'm not a poet - i just hear a million phrases in my head

I spin around while people lie so peacefully in their beds

Then in the candlelight i play the piano and i hear my name

I'm coming home - it's something like a wonder that i can't explain

Do you expect a miracle? you're waiting

While i'm craving for my gentle dream again

You were never there while i was writing

Will you protect the spirit in the end?

It all felt so right 'till i had to battle pain

Still i need it - sounds and verses that won't fade away

I could never sacrifice my tears to win a senseless fight

I wouldn't know of beauty if i hadn't ever dared to cry

I slip into my shadow to become someone who writes a song

I've got no science so i need the heart to be myself and strong

Do you expect a miracle? you're waiting

While i'm craving for my gentle dream again

You were never there while i was writing

Will you protect the spirit in the end?

It all felt so right 'till i had to battle pain

Still i need it - sounds and verses that won't fade away

Do you expect a miracle? you're waiting

While i'm craving for my gentle dream again

You were never there while i was writing

Will you protect the spirit in the end?

It all felt so right 'till i had to battle pain

Still i need it - sounds and verses that won't fade away
