Oh lord, don't keep me up all night

Side by side with the moon

With its desolate eyes

Miles from the sunrise

The darkness inviting a tune

The insomniac's lullaby.

A siren is playing its song in the distance

The melody rattles the old window frame

Gradually, angels reveal their existence

And there's nothing and no-one to blame.

Oh lord, don't keep me up all night

Side by side with the moon

Alone in the bed

The season ahead

Is winter that lasts until june

The insomniac's lullaby.

Sleep...

They say all roads lead to a river, then one day

The river comes up to your door

How will the builder of bridges deliver us all

To the faraway shore?

Oh lord, don't keep me up all night

With questions I can't understand

While I wrestle my fears

The sound in my ears

Is the music that's sweeping the land

The insomniac's lullaby.

Sleep...

Soft as a rose, the light from the east

As if all is forgiven

And wolves become sheep

We are who we are

Or we're not, but at least

We'll eventually all fall asleep

Eventually all fall asleep.
