Elizabeth Woolf - Lay Awake

Reflections of my eyes
In the screen of my phone
The sun glares into the brown
Making yellow dots
And turquoise spots
Revealing all the words
I can't say out loud

I am a wandering poet
Or so they say
I am a hopeless romantic
And I fear one day
My words they will fade
And I'll lay in my bed
And I won't know the names of my
Children or my wedding day
I'll just lay awake

Connection over coffee
In this city unknown
The inside feels like a town
That I've seen before
Across the shore
The town that grew up around

I am a wandering poet
Or so they say
I am a hopeless romantic
And I fear one day
My words they will fade
And I'll lay in my bed
And I won't know the names of my
Children or my wedding day
I'll just lay awake

And if I didn't write about it, did it really happen?
If I didn't tell my sister, did the trees really fall?
Did I run away at all or is some kind of thought
That I'll have when I'm older, and I lay awake

Ooooh
Ooooh
Ooooh
Ooooh

I am a wandering poet
Or so they say
I am a hopeless romantic
And I fear one day
My words they will fade
And I'll lay in my bed
And I won't know the names of my
Children or my wedding day
I'll just lay awake
