|
Figure of divine perfection
|
No one's loved with more affection
|
Soul to soul we've breathed
|
Oh, I won't let The Fates succeed
|
|
Worried hours of contemplation
|
Whispered bits of conversation
|
Unaffected orderlies
|
Disinfected rooms and hallways
|
|
And if you sleep, you sleep with God
|
And if I cry, it's for my heart
|
Why should I hope to make it through?
|
'Cause if you sleep, I'll sleep, too
|
|
Jagged thorns and pretty petals
|
Butterflies and stinging nettles
|
Sunny days and nights of blackness
|
But where's the joy to cure my sadness?
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Gleaming cars and covered faces
|
Teary eyes in hallowed places
|
Grass and granite stone
|
No one's been more all alone
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|

If You Sleep
