With eyes so blind   How did I see a single thing?   I missed the scenery   Change in front of me      And as for these hands   Well they've got a lot to answer for   They built me a house of sand   On someone else's land      Deep down I knew I was lost   But I kept my fingers crossed   As if that would somehow rescue me      Chorus:   How did I sleep?   How did I sleep?   How did I sleep without You?   Without You      Tired all the time   But there is no rest for the wicked   Under the covers I pretended not to cry      And there You were:   Magnified by the tears   Reaching Your hands to me   Waiting patiently      I never dared to dream   Of the morning my eyes have seen   Awake for the first time: rise and shine      Chorus x3      How did I ever try?   How did I sleep?      Rise and Shine; awake for the first time   (Repeat)
