[Verse 1] Every few years Same midnight movie I blink awake Moon on the ceiling You’re in the yard Huge and glowing White as winter But somehow gentle Bare feet on stone Door left open I don’t think twice I just start running Your breath like clouds Slow and steady You bow your head Like you were waiting [Chorus] White deer Wake me up Take me where the water hides the world Where the blossoms never fall And my heart forgets it ever learned to hurt White deer Don’t look back Let the earth and all its noise just disappear If this is only in my sleep Then every night I pray you’ll find me here [Verse 2] We cross the fields Trees turn silver Stars lean down To watch us passing Under the roar Of a hidden river You find the crack Behind the falling glass Crawl through the dark Stone on fingers Holding my breath Then sudden color Branches heavy With quiet thunder Petals landing Soft as whispers [Chorus] White deer Wake me up Take me where the water hides the world Where the blossoms never fall And my heart forgets it ever learned to hurt White deer Don’t look back Let the earth and all its noise just disappear If this is only in my sleep Then every night I pray you’ll find me here [Bridge] I wanna stay I always stay Until the dawn Pulls you away You turn your head One last time I taste the sun And open my eyes [Chorus] White deer Wake me up Take me where the water hides the world Where the blossoms never fall And my heart forgets it ever learned to hurt White deer Don’t go yet Daylight’s crawling underneath the door If I have to live awake Then let my dreams keep growing at your shore (oh)
