Sleep

(Sweet Water)



I've seen the blue lips on you

Bending down over cold kisses

I've heard the wings beating

Angels pass you over again

Lying on the floor

Still as a picture

Looking up with doll's eyes



Sleep a while

Sleep a while

Sleep while I'm gone



Your past is hung from your neck

Pulling strings made of things you always ment to do

Heavier than gold

Is it a crime to rest your soul for a while?

Lying on the floor

Still as a picture

You don't have to hide anymore



Sleep a while

Sleep a while

Sleep while I'm gone



Gone, gone, gone



Sleep while I'm gone

Sleep while I'm gone

Sleep while-sleep while-sleep while I'm gone
