Lisa Hannigan - O Sleep
(feat. Ray LaMontagne)
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.
End
