Dead to the world my body was sleeping On my mind was nothing at all Come a mist an aire so appealing I'm here a whispering you summoned I called I formed me a presence whose aspect was changing Oh he would shift he would not shift at all We sat for a while he was very engaging And when he was gone I was gone on a smile With a strange way of walking And a strange way of breathing More lives than a cat That led me astray All in all he captured my heart Dead to the world and just Slipped away I heard me a music that drew me to dancing Lo I turned under his spell I opened my coat but he never came closer I bolted the door and whispered oh well With a strange way of walking And a strange way of breathing More lives than a cat That let me astray All in all he captured my heart Dead to the world and just Slipped away I laid in the rushes the air was upon me Wondering well I just couldn't discern Will he come back come back to me Oh I whispered will you ever return I was feeling sensations in no dictionary He was less than a breath of shimmer and smoke The life in his fingers unwound my existence Dead to the world alive I awoke With a strange way of walking And a strange way of breathing Less than a breath of shimmer and smoke The life in his fingers unwound my existence Dead to the world alive I awoke Alive I awoke Alive alive I awoke Alive I awoke Alive I awoke Alive I awoke I awoke Alive I awoke Alive alive-o Alive alive-o
