HE'S RUNNING IN HIS SLEEP
He's running in his sleep
Sometimes he leaps right out of bed
Sometimes he talks out loud, sometimes he shouts
But he'll never tell you what it's all about
Some kind of memory that he's locked away
That he'll never let into the light of day
But he'll close his eyes and then
It will come back again
And all that he can do is run, run, run
He's running in his sleep
Sometimes he leaps right out of bed
Someone is chasing him, I wonder who
Makes you twist the sheets the way you do
Will he get you, will you get home free
There's no use praying on your rosary
'Cause you'll close your eyes and then
It will come back again
And all that you can do is run, run, run
And you go running down that corridor like it was yesterday
Do you forgive them Lord if they know what they've done
When they trapped a young boy in his room so long ago
But in his dreams at least he can run
And he runs, and he runs
And he's running in his sleep,
Sometimes he leaps right out of bed
And the one who did this
Does he sleep tonight
Thinking there's nothing wrong
With what he's done
Oh but you close your eyes and then
It will come back again
And all that you can do is run, run, run
