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.
