|
Sleep baby sleep |
|
I don't mind if you leave; |
|
We will part in our dreams, let them come. |
|
I'll give you my skin |
|
But you can't have within; |
|
Hold me tight as you like. |
|
I will leave you when the day is done. |
|
Wake with the dawn |
|
Discover needles in my neck. |
|
Sleep it bade me turn my back on you. |
|
I'll watch your chest |
|
As it rises with each breath |
|
But you still breathe beneath a river |
|
that I'll never even wade through. |
|
Give me your cup and |
|
I'll give you mine. |
|
But I'll prise it from your fingers |
|
in surrender to the night. |
|
The moon is bright |
|
And hangs alone. |
|
Yeah, he's got the stars, but they've got their own |
|
Solar systems. |
|
And I watch as he wards off the dark. |
|
With the gift that the sun gave him. |
|
And I learn from the moon what we are; |
|
All alone. |
|
But alone in a sea of lonely stars. |
|
So go baby glow. |
