Up the street from this hotel building    I sit alone with my beliefs   Contradicted by a memory of sunlight   She leaves no sentiment for me      (Please could you help me sleep when I'm dreaming?)      Drawn from memory he knows her call   Sees the world through different eyes   No-one can see me in the labyrinth inside   But I still fall saleep and try      (Please could you help me wake when I'm screaming?)      (chorus)   But I am locked inside her service   It seems like we're falling inbetween   These green apple trees bring no comfort for me   It feels like it's 'Love in the time of cholera' for me      Down the street from this ruined cathedral   I sleep alone beneath the stars   Mercury was falling through a gap beneath the waves   Broken by the love that went too far      (Please could you let me sleep when I'm dreaming?)      Rivers running through me but they cannot find the sea   Cholera has turned them all to green   Now her lover hangs in balance in the leaves   But til he falls I won't be free      (Can't someone help me wake when I'm screaming?)      CHORUS      The General in his maze   Writes four songs that can't be erased   The cavalry of pawns    Sing of love and other demons   And I can't believe that you read them all for me   I feels like it's 'Love in the time of cholera' for me   It seems like there's solitude beneath   But could you tell me when I'm drifting off to sleep?
