Locked in a dream I found I test my mind’s ability At sleeping through the sound Of engines running near to me Won’t turn down for me And on the ocean bed This tireless whale that waits for war With men inside its head There from the time they closed the door Won’t turn round for me She waits and when she sees you she is filled with joy She waits and when she sees you she is scared to tell you And just because you sleep Wake up John You said yourself that there’s no point carrying on If you reveal they’ll send you back where you... Where you came from great iron bridges lead us over Places once impossible Great stony ridges that we conquer Wild lands so crossable Take us under, now you take us under She waits and when she sees you she is filled with joy She waits and when she sees you she is scared to tell you And just because you sleep Wake up John You said yourself that there’s no point carrying on If you reveal they’ll send you back where you... Where you came from We wait for messages to tell us they're alright They wait for radios to tell us they're all ok And if there's nothing I'd be last of all to know Why would you share the news with me Why would you let me know? Why would you let me? And just because you sleep Wake up John You said yourself that there’s no point carrying on If you reveal they’ll send you back where you... And just because you dream Wake up John You said yourself that there’s no point carrying on If you reveal they’ll send you back where you... Where you came from
