Sleep Lyrics

Evening hangs beneath the moon
A silver thread on darkened doon
With closing eyes and resting head
I know that sleep is coming soon.

Upon my pillow safe in bed
A thousand pictures fill my head
I cannot sleep my mind's aflight
And yet my limbs seem made of lead.

If there are noises in the night,
A frightening shadow, flickering light,
Then I surrender unto sleep
Where clouds of dreams give second sight.

What dreams may come both dark and deep,
Of flying wings and soaring leap
As I surrender unto sleep
As I surrender unto sleep
As I surrender unto sleep

Sleep
