I wonder what you dream

I watch as you lie sleeping and I wonder what you dream

I listen to your breathing but yet you feel so out of reach

I watch your expressions and I wonder what they mean

I listen to you mumble whilst I wonder what you dream

Are you safe in your dreams whilst you lay there in the night

Are you scared, are you anxious, do your dreams fill you with fright

Do you see all the things that your memory tries to hide
The faces, the places and all the memories deep inside

You stir and you are restless, only you know where you've been

As I lie there beside you and I wonder what you dream
