Sleeping Lions - Annabel

We speak in sighs

But most of us don’t mind

It helps to pass the time

Repeating lines about love and desire

I know I’ve heard this all before

I could try to deny

But why?

Someday I might consciously devise

A game that’s all my own

I’ll improvise the rules that are required

But to win might take a while

I could try to deny

But why?

Now our company divides

into another fleeting night

While this occupied our time

I swear the idea wasn’t mine

Next time that there’s nothing left to do Tell me something only you know
