Sleep, take me now and never let me wake Still in your hands, in your kingdom I'll be yours to break Sleep, I am tired. I have blundered on to a path where I don't belong Still in your land, I'll be safe from where I could go wrong Promise me a silver dream Let your silence flow over me Give me serenity and take away my will Let your silence flow over me Ghosts hold no pain I surrendered years ago Life has no claim on me Let me slip quietly beneath the pulsing noise of everyday Life has no claim on me Sleep, if I beg you, will you bleed all memory from my veins Cold in your arms, I'll have given all my hurt away I am not afraid I have waited on your doorstep too long Take back my name Close my eyes and turn my face away
