When You Are Asleep - Lyrics - Weeping Willows

The band's first two albums are primarily influenced by the popular music of the late 1950s to early 1960s. With their third album Into the Light, Weeping Willows took a stylistic turn towards a more modern sound with alternative rock leanings.

I wonder if you can see If you can see the secret that I keep Are you the one for me I wonder how much longer I can keep pretending that I'm there by your side You're alone when you're with me The truth is buried deep Beneath the mask you see At night I wake and weep But only when you are asleep I'm waiting for the day when you'll go down on your knees and say 'Will you marry me?' That day is what I live to see Why must I be this kind of guy who never dares to look straight into your eyes The truth would make you cry So I'll leave it up to you I'll treat you worse and worse 'til you're forced to go My love for you has grown cold The truth is buried deep Beneath the mask you see At night I wake and weep But only when you are asleep
