Keeping Awake - The Innocence Mission

Hearing your voice in the blue light,

calming people in the house,

traveling upstairs —

good to be there

now, right now

Oh, I’m near to sleeping, I’m keeping awake.

Oh, I’m near to sleeping, I’m keeping awake,

hearing your voice in the house, in the house,

hearing your voice in the house

Under those trees we will all be

sitting, blankets down.

It’s tomorrow, yes it is.

Oh, I’m near to sleeping, I’m keeping awake.

Oh, I’m near to sleeping, I’m keeping awake,

hearing your voice in the house, in the house,

hearing your voice in the house

Oh, I’m near to sleeping, I’m keeping awake.

Oh, I’m near to sleeping, I’m keeping awake,

hearing your voice in the house, in the house,

hearing your voice in the house

My room is held in someone’s arms,

my bed is held in someone’s arms.

I am-I'm held now

In the house,

in the heart of paper vines,

Junie runs into her room

next to mine, Dancing.

And we are all in for the night.

Talking is coming,

is coming up over the stairs.
