A quarter after midnight
I'm half-past out of reason
Our bodies still entwined from making love
While you're asleep I tell you what I'm thinking of
In our apartment all the rooms
Have taken on your personality
The living room has overshadowed me
I feel as restless as these bedroom sheets
My inhibitions disappear
Suddenly the words escape
And I make-belive you're listening (I say:)
Baby, are you awake?
My concentration flutters
Like a candle's temperamental flame
Can't talk to you - can't tell you
Can't share this little hell with you
You're slipping through my fingers
I'm falling from your arms
And when I whisper all the secrets that I keep
You probably think I'm talking in my sleep
All my inhibitions disappear
Suddenly the words escape
And I make-belive you're listening (I say:)
Baby, are you awake?
You reach for me and call my name
And softly breathe against my skin
Your voice is echoing familiar sentences
Ohh - You've been listening to every word I said
All my inhibitions disappear
Suddenly the words escape
And I make-belive you're listening (I say:)
Baby, are you awake?
Baby, are you awake?
Baby, are you awake?
