about

Written in two halves...when my man was having his first lot of chemo and the second when he had his next lot. Written about the almost dreamlike state we seemed to inhabit in those times where he would sleep for days and it felt like we were hibernating along with the winter, waiting for him and the world to re-awaken.

lyrics

My love is sleeping
He dreams the days away
Lost in dreamland
While I while the time away

My love is sleeping
He might dream this winter away
And wake in springtime
When there’s flowers in the woods

Feels like we’ve been holding our breath
All winter long
Holding our breath
While we wait for snow
But I love him so
I’m not ready to let him go
To let him go

My love is sleeping
But I can’t rest my head
I’m watching shadows
Playing on the walls instead

And how much time’s passed
In these days apart
And I’m just trying
To hold onto my heart
My heart

It feels like we’ve been holding our breath
All winter long
Holding our breath
While we wait for snow
But I love him so
I’m not ready to let him go
To let him go

And all the birds went quiet for a while
The trees were still
The breeze it paused
But last Sunday I saw the birds were back
And they were singing away the winter cold

It feels like we’ve been holding our breath
All winter long
Holding our breath
While we wait for snow
But I love him so
I’m not ready to let him go
To let him go
To let him go

My love is sleeping, my love he sleeps
