Simple Minds

From without, from a child
In this location, the forces conspire
Vigilant fire, expectation
Sleeping girl, I wish you could tell
This violation
Sleeping girl, I want you you to smile
Confirmation

Moment of truth
Know what she says
I can't take it
I wanted the truth
But I know I can play, this location
Sleeping girl, you know her so well
In?
Sleeping girl, I want to you tell me
Conversation
Sleeping girl, you know that you will
Communication
Sleeping girl, I want you to smile
Confirmation

Sleeping girl, you know her so well
In?
Sleeping girl, I want you tell me
Communication
Sleeping girl, you know that you will
Vindication
Sleeping girl, I want you smile
Confirmation
I, i, i
I, i, i
