Sister Sleep
Sister sleep come to my bedside and console meBring me anyone to hold meFor I spend too many waking hours in your companyCome and close my darkening eyesWith your light and nimble fingersTiptoe them over my eyelashes and sprinkle me with dustUntil time passes over usI don't know if you save soulsBut could you pick mine up off the floor as you goAnd bring it back tomorrowOr bring me one I can borrow for the day, just for the daySister sleep sing me a story with your gentle voiceGive me just one reason to rejoiceCome and take this silence come and drown out this noiseCan I be forgiven 'til morning sunCan I be your angel 'til judgement comesI can see the sunI don't know if you save soulsBut could you pick mine up off the floor as you goAnd bring it back tomorrowWhen you wake me into this sorrowOr could you bring me a soul I can borrowFor the day, just for the day Aus Songtexte Mania
