Even though you’re worlds away
I must inform you today
The day we parted I married you in my sleep
Walking on snow, like on water, following
The Sami people around the Arctic Circle
Reindeer in tow, the most beautiful place on earth
Platinum white hair is everywhere, snow on the ground
I squeeze in between two warm animal bodies
I married you in my sleep
This time of year when the snow falls even here
I think of you not seeing the fluffy heaven petals
Dancing on your hand, disappearing into a twist,
Water drops till they evaporate
Kind of like you in the morning of every new day
I married you in my sleep
How different it all seems to be
Our worlds, our realities
Yours a full day ahead of mine,
But I have all I could ever need
I married you in my sleep
Like a feather on the floor
Swept with one motion of a broom
Just to escape it
Since the motion of the brush gives it
Power, wings of flight
My heart has played its latest trick
No ifs and buts, you are always with me
So why the cruel joke
Instead of bedding my dreams
I keep my insomnia company
The day we parted
I married you in my sleep.
I married you in my sleep.
