When I Awoke - Julie Doiron

You touched my hand

You were awake

And while you slept

You dreamed about the other hands you’d held

And wondered while you’d stayed around

With all the other hands to be held

You’d said it all

And you were gone

Je hebt mijn hand aangeraakt

Je was wakker

En terwijl je sliep

Je droomde over de andere handen die je had vastgehouden

En vroeg me af terwijl je in de buurt was gebleven?

Met alle andere handen om vast te houden

Je had alles al gezegd

En je was weg
