And you let go, slept in the belly of a whale
|
And it keeps her safe.
|
She dreams of falling through the waves in an ocean glue.
|
And you would go, she kept a poem in her shoe
|
And it keeps her safe.
|
Words of beauty, words of grace, she almost glance.
|
|
And when I¡¯m falling into sleep
|
My mind would draw me into memory.
|
I think I¡¯ve been too long away,
|
My burning cold fade into gray,
|
I miss your flame.
|
|
And you were a boy, sees the world a different way
|
And it keeps him safe,
|
Keeps the smile upon his face in a private joke.
|
|
When I¡¯m falling into sleep
|
My whiskey dreams play tricks on me.
|
And I think I¡¯m someone else,
|
Someone who¡¯s plans all worked out this time.
|
|
Come on, cover me, sweet sleep
|
Come on, love me in my dream.
|
Come on, cover me, sweet sleep.
|
Think I¡¯ve been too long away,
|
The day is night and the night won¡¯t take me in its arms.
