THE MAP OF SLEEP

V6

[Intro] [Verse 1 ] The streets were rearranged While everybody slept The station moved again The river changed its steps I drew a line in blue From somewhere to the sea But every road I knew Was somewhere else by three [Pre-Chorus] And all the signs Are turning white The names disappear Under morning light (Where did they go?) [Chorus] I need a map of sleep To find the place I knew A city underneath The city breaking through And if I wake too soon Before the streets align Leave every window on So I can find the light (Ooh—find the light) (Ooh—find the light) [Verse 2] The buildings trade their names The numbers leave the doors A photograph I kept Has people there no more The traffic moves like rain Across an empty square I swear I heard my name But no one else was there [Pre-Chorus] And every clock Is losing time The shadows move But never match with mine (Not anymore) [Chorus] I need a map of sleep To find the place I knew A city underneath The city breaking through And if I wake too soon Before the streets align Leave every window on So I can find the light (Ooh—find the light) (Ooh—find the light) (Ah—ah) (Ah—ah) [Bridge] Maybe there was never A road beneath my feet Maybe I was drawing Places from a dream But somewhere past the morning Beyond the waking blue There is a door still open And I remember you— [Final Chorus] I need a map of sleep To find the place I knew A city underneath Is finally coming through And if the morning takes The last thing left behind Leave every window on I’ll recognize the light (Ooh—there’s the light) (Ooh—there’s the light)
