Sleep

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
After your laughter like thunderAfter your skin like coffee and creamAfter it takes our bodies into the nightAfter we've come to the extremeI want to lay down on your shoulderJust inside your armI want to listen to your heart beatAnd your breathing on and onI want to lay down on your shoulderSurrender to your peaceAnd go to sleepAnd when we've gone a million milesMade true our dreams with sweat and boneAfter we've built it up with our bare handsMade strong a place we can call homeAnd when the light in my eye is fadingWhen running water becomes too deepFinally angels turn my fire to dustAnd when my soul's no longer mine to keepI want to lay down on your shoulderJust inside your armI want to listen to your heartbeatAnd your breathing on and onI want to lay down on your shoulderSurrender to the peaceAnd just go to sleep
