Bouncing Around The Room

  • The woman was a dream I had
    Though rather hard to keep
    For when my eyes were watching hers, they closed, and I was still asleep

    For when my hand was holding hers
    She whispered words and I awoke

    And faintly bouncing round the room
    The echo of whomever spoke
    And I awoke, and faintly bouncing round the room
    The echo of whomever spoke

    The place I sought was far beneath, the surface of the sea
    My sight was poor, but I was sure
    The sirens sang their song for me

    They dance above me as I sink
    I see them through a crystal haze
    And hear the sweet sound bouncing round
    The never-ending coral maze,
    The crystal haze,
    And hear the bouncing round the room
    The never-ending coral maze

    Then before and now once more, I'm bouncing round the room
    That time then and once again, I'm bouncing round the room
    That time then and once again, I'm bouncing round the room
    That time then and once again, I'm bouncing round the room
    That time then and once again, I'm bouncing round the room, (cont)

    And I awoke, faintly bouncing round the room
    The echo of whomever spoke
    And I awoke, faintly bouncing round the room
    The echo of whomever spoke
    And I awoke, faintly bouncing round the room
    The echo of whomever spoke Writer/s: MIKE GORDON
