I WAS HALF ASLEEP

(M. Alchin/J. Salway – 1980 - © Reasonable Songs/Interrossitor)

I was half asleep when she walked out

I didn’t have a chance to talk it out

Instead of waking me she left a note

I didn’t understand a word she wrote

I spent the night thinking of what she said

Putting together all the things I’d read

Looking for meanings I was meant to see

But in the end it made no sense to me

And I know it wasn’t easy for you

To come around to what you did

But I don’t think you were right

And I know that you have

Been unhappy for some time

But I don’t think you were right

I was half asleep when she walked out

I didn’t have a chance to talk it out

Instead of waking me she left a note

I didn’t understand a word she wrote

And I know it wasn’t easy for you

To come around to what you did

But I don’t think you were right

And I know that you have

Been unhappy for some time

But I don’t think you were right
