Sleep

(专辑： Suit Yourself - 2005)

Sleep. Come on in
I would like for you to spend the night with me
Sleep. Where you been
I have surely missed you since you've been gone
I have walked the dirt and seen the clouds in the sky and
Seen them different in the daytime
It hurts my eyes to close them cause they only close to blink away the tears that I cry

Sleep. Be my friend
I could use a close one to remind me how to live again
Sleep. Make it end
Let me rest and lie beside my tired old bones and hold me
Sing to me a lullaby on hopes of shutting down these eyes and close out the world
Force me to dream so I'll know I've slept and shelter me from daylights creeping fingers

Sleep. Please appear
Show to me your face and tell me it's ok to rest
Sleep. Help me try
To put my body down on pillows made out of my Mama's womb
Satisfy my eagerness for comfort in this time of worry let me let it go
When I'm sure the lights are out and sandman throws himself about
I'll trust you again

Sleep. Say my prayers
Asking for a place that looks like all the nighttime fantasies
Sleep. Are you here?
Are you real and am I snuggling down tonight?
