Lightfoot // I Heard You talking In Your Sleep

Lightfoot // I Heard You talking In Your Sleep

A Poem by David

                                      Lightfoot

 

I heard you talking in your sleep

Is there anything I can do

I don’t believe we’ve had a word all day

About anything at all

I heard you talking in the night , that’s right

Yes I heard you call

Though I could hardly hear the name you spoke

It’s a name I don’t recall

I heard you softly whisper

I reached out to hold you near me

From your lips there came that secret

I was not supposed to know

I heard you talking in your sleep

Is there anything I can say

I don’t believe we’ve had a word all day

About anything at all

I heard you talking in the night , that’s right

Yes I heard you call

Though I could hardly hear the name you spoke

It’s a name I don’t recall

I heard you softly whisper

I reached out to hold you near me

From your lips there came that secret

I was not supposed to know

I heard you talking in your sleep

Is there anything that I can do

I don’t believe we’ve had a word all day

About anything at all

I heard you talking in the night , that’s right

Yes I heard you call

Though I could hardly hear the name you spoke

It’s a name I don’t recall

Author's Note

David
This is of course a Gordon Lightfoot song. I have just become familiar with it. It can be seen on You Tube , Gordon Lightfoot live in Concert Pt.2. Hope you love it as much as I do.
