Alice GodberIn the lottery of sleep
I saw you in the night again
You’ve slipped through my defences
Maybe there’s more to this
People come and go
But it’s been months
And you’re still on my mind
Longing to dream of only you
The lottery of sleep
By Alice Godber
I’m just waiting for the moment everything falls into place. A moment we may never reach A dream of happiness A dream of longing... belonging. A bond so mature and so naive You have rooted so deep But
This unrequited love A contagious chemistry I just can’t shake Tell me what you want to hear I just want you to be happy I can’t build on this But i don‘t think I’m strong enough To stop feeling thing
I’ve been thinking a lot about life recently How fleeting and unfair it can be at times How suddenly you left Without a hug or a kiss goodbye Maybe you were too good for this world So much experience
