Sweet Water - Sleep Lyrics

Sleep
(Sweet Water)

I've seen the blue lips on you
Bending down over cold kisses
I've heard the wings beating
Angels pass you over again
Lying on the floor
Still as a picture
Looking up with doll's eyes

Sleep a while
Sleep a while
Sleep while I'm gone

Your past is hung from your neck
Pulling strings made of things you always ment to do
Heavier than gold
Is it a crime to rest your soul for a while?
Lying on the floor
Still as a picture
You don't have to hide anymore

Sleep a while
Sleep a while
Sleep while I'm gone

Gone, gone, gone

Sleep while I'm gone
Sleep while I'm gone
Sleep while-sleep while-sleep while I'm gone
