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 you And on the ocean bed This tireless whale that waits for war With men inside its head There from the day they closed the door Won't turn round for you 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 old land 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 that they're alright They wait for radios To tell them that we'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? 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 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
