Your Name

don't ask me about this smile

I can't tell you what it is

another place, another life

don't know how it reached me here

now when we are perfect strangers

it all came back for one moment

all those feelings, smells and whispers

memories I thought I got over

one day I'll let your name out

like that night, in my sleep

everything is different now

but you're still a part of me

lying there, my eyes wide open

by the boundaries of your dreams

the air quivering, silence broken

that strange name fell off your lips

every night I count on your breath

to remind me where I am

cling to your warmth, hope your presence

keeps the clock from racing back

one day I'll let your name out

like that night, in my sleep

everything is different now

but you're still a part of me

all our love carves in, it will come back to haunt

I know I can't erase it, I have to go on

one day I'll let your name out in my sleep

though everything is different, you're still part of me

one day I'll let your name out

like that night, in my sleep

everything is different now

but you're still a part of me

one day I'll let your name out

like that night, in my sleep

everything is different now

but you're still a part of me
