"I give you sleep"
Hands up
almost to weak to surrender
let your eyelids drop like your tears
and your pretty toys
the curtains
make the sun so blind and
then your mind is made up
when you realize - you can't fight
So sleep. I give you sleep
Your lashes
flutter with your baby dreams
oh I wish I could be there
singin' at your side
I'm so tired
yet I could sit and stare back
at your beauty all night
but I let you go
So, sleep. I give you sleep
gone for a little while
sleep in your baby style
hands flat like stars
up by your face
Cradle at my hand
your cry's like my command
when you break
out of your peace
So, sleep. I give you sleep.
but if you wake I'll comfort you and hold you till you fall back
asleep. I give you sleep
