O Sleep Songtext

von Lisa Hannigan

O Sleep, come for me,
I will go quietly,
Where the roof doesn't leak in my heart.

O Sleep, come for me,
I'm a boat, sprung a leak,
I'll hide and you'll seek a new start

For me until dawn, I'll be too gone
To care how grey the day is.
The dreams that it chases away,
They stay asleep.

O Sleep, come for me,
I will come willingly,
Like a leaf from a tree in October.
O Sleep, come for me, I wait hopefully.
I was drunk on a dream, now I'm sober.

From now until dawn,
It can't be too long for me,
I count the hours
‘til I sleep with your feet by my feet,
Your breath on my cheek, asleep
Asleep
Asleep
