Sleep baby sleep I don't mind if you leave; We will part in our dreams, let them come. I'll give you my skin But you can't have within; Hold me tight as you like. I will leave you when the day is done.
Wake with the dawn Discover needles in my neck. Sleep it bade me turn my back on you. I'll watch your chest As it rises with each breath But you still breathe beneath a river that I'll never even wade through.
Give me your cup and I'll give you mine. But I'll prise it from your fingers in surrender to the night. The moon is bright And hangs alone. Yeah, he's got the stars, but they've got their own Solar systems.
And I watch as he wards off the dark. With the gift that the sun gave him. And I learn from the moon what we are; All alone. But alone in a sea of lonely stars.
