The sun is high above my head It casts a shadow of myself upon my bed Where will I sleep? Where will I lie? Where will I rest my weary head? My eyes are heavy, I cannot see Somebody's talking but not to me He said, "Deliver" And a shiver Ran through my head I am beside myself I am beside myself My bones are shaking, my thoughts are slow My mind is wandering, no place to go He said, "Deliver" And a river Ran through my head I am beside myself I am beside myself I know it's calm but I'm reborn I am beside myself forever My coat is shabby, my shoes are worn My hand is freezing, but my mind is torn Between the masters of good reason And the season That is faster than the dawn I am beside myself I am beside myself I know it's calm but I'm reborn I am beside myself forever The sun is high above my head I know of stories that no man has ever read And now I sleep And now I lie And I will rest my weary head I am beside myself I am beside myself (Oh, oh, ooh)
