the risks

aren't you afraid

one of these days

you two will wake up like strangers

you'll ask him his name

hell ask you the same

you'll forget to ask where you came from

you'll get out of bed

with the thought in your head

i wonder if he's any danger

he'll go back to sleep

like a secret you'll keep

and you'll choose to call it a home

aren't you afraid

it'll all pass this way

with the life you live dreaming not waking

well it all could come true 

though its frightening to you

that's a risk i'm okay with taking

and so she stood at the door

and i asked her no more

but gave her a kiss for her leaving

my true love is gone

to risk at someone

and i am alone left to grieve her

aren't you afraid

one of these days

you'll wake like a stranger

in stopping too low

and speaking too slow

dreaming is always a danger
