O Sleep' come for me' I will go quietly'
where the roof doesn't leak in my heart.

O Sleep' come for me'
I'm a boat' sprung a leak'
I'll hide and you'll seek a new start

for me. Until dawn' I'll be too gone
to care how grey the day is.

The dreams that it chases away'
they stay asleep.

O Sleep' come for me'
I will come willingly'
like a leaf from a tree in October.

O Sleep' come for me' I wait hopefully.
I was drunk on a dream' now I'm sober.
From now until dawn'
it can't be too long for me'
I count the hours
'til I sleep with your feet by my feet'

From now until dawn'
it can't be too long for me'
I count the hours
'til I sleep with your feet by my feet'
your breath on my cheek' asleep.
End
