Dead Asleep

In a waterside village In the heat of July A man and his wife settled down for the night In the morning, he woke to a horrible sight It's all just so tragic, an unusual case The violent result of a fatal mistake How can he be to blame? He was never awake Wake up! What have I done? I was dead asleep Wake up! Can you send someone? I'm not insane, I was dead asleep Scrambling in the darkness, in fear for his life Certain a killer broke in He fumbles for a weapon, reaches for a knife A sleepwalking murder begins It was a vivid encounter, a realistic fight And now he's got blood on his hands He stands over the body, sees it's his wife A nightmare he can't understand I must confess it was me I needed to silence the screams She suffered a brutal attack A shockingly violent act Wake up! What have I done? I was dead asleep Wake up! Can you send someone? I'm not insane, I was dead asleep Out of my mind, out of my body Someone's been killed, I am sorry Out of control, all out of answers Maybe one day you'll forgive me Wake up! What have I done? I was dead asleep I must have been dreaming, I have no memory of anything We strongly suspect you're feeling a sense of despair No one knows of the guilt that you bear In the eyes of the law, you are free You are innocent
