Dm B

Sleep baby sleep

I don't mind if you leave;

Dm B A

We will part in our dreams, let them come.

Dm B

I'll give you my skin

But you can't have within;

Dm B

Hold me tight as you like.

A Dm B A

I will leave you when the day is done.

Dm B

Wake with the dawn

Discover needles in my neck.

Dm B A

Sleep it bade me turn my back on you.

Dm B

I'll watch your chest

As it rises with each breath

Dm B

But you still breathe beneath a river

A Dm B A

that I'll never even wade through.

Dm B

Give me your cup and

I'll give you mine.

Dm B

But I'll prise it from your fingers

in surrender to the night.

The moon is bright

And hangs alone.
