And Are You Sleeping?
And are you sleeping still my love?
The sun is on the rise
A gentle west wind lifts the leaves
And songbirds fill the skies
I closed my eyes in sorrow, love
My heart as cold as stone
And thought, as darkness covered me
That I would lie alone
But you were not alone my love
Your weariness was mine
I brought a light into the dark
That you might see it shine
I close my eyes in weariness
I close my eyes in pain
And never thought I should be called
To open them again
I too endured the deadly cold
That chilled us to the bone
That I might warm the sepulcher
And roll away the stone, ooh, ooh
Awaken now to life my love
Arise, alive and free
Shake off the sleep of death my love
And come away with me
And she has risen from her bed
And held her arms out wide
And touched his wounded hands and heart
And gone to be his bride
