About Insomnia - Martha and the Muffins

Waiting for the dawn for a dream

A chance to lie down

That confused imitation of life

Eludes me now

All routes of resistance impaired by your face

Oh fugitive hope will I see you today?

In a tunnel, on a bridge or a viaduct

We’ll meet just by chance

And in a moment or maybe just an hour or so

Renew our romance

And if the charms of foreign places call

For changing tableaux

We will auction all our paintings

And our furniture

And take to the road …

Do you suppose?

The patterns on the wall never change but shadows grow long

Vous n’assassinez de la realite'

C’est malheuresement

As daylight disperses the spectres of night

My nocturnal musings don wings

And take flight
