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
