Name: Mark The Time
Duration: P00H04M27S
Description: Wrote this probably in 1985 or 1986, in Whitefish, MT. Played it a lot over the years in various settings. There was a version I recorded with Strunk and White, a duo I had with Banning Eyre from '86 to '94, and that was a great version, but it was a cassette and may or may not still exist. Here's the Power Down Devices solo version. A love song.

lyrics

YOU ARE ABOUT TO SLEEP, YOU’RE IN MY ARMS
YOUR TENSION IS RELEASED
NOTHING IS TOUCHING YOU, YOUR BODY’S OFF
I THINK YOU’RE OUT TO SEA

Chorus:
DON’T SLEEP WITHOUT ME, MY LOVE
I MARK THE TIME BETWEEN EACH BREATH
DON’T SLEEP WITHOUT ME, MY LOVE
AM I LYIN’ BY MYSELF WITH YOU AGAIN?

YOU ARE ADRIFT NOW, OF THAT I’M SURE
NO WORDS ARE IN YOUR HEAD
I KNOW YOU’RE TIRED, BUT I MOVE AND MOVE AND MOVE AND MOVE AND MOVE
AND I WHISPER TO THE BED

CHORUS

YOU ARE ABOUT TO SLEEP, YOU’RE IN MY ARMS
YOUR TENSION IS RELEASED
I KNOW YOU’RE TIRED BUT I MOVE AND MOVE AND MOVE AND MOVE AND MOVE
AND I WHISPER TO THE SHEETS

CHORUS
