Please sleep, my darling, sleep
Your cry for inspiration
Never reaches ears on distant stars
And every night, our lonely planet
Slides across the universe
and I won't pretend I understand

Please sleep, my darling, sleep
Your death by information
Won't disturb the peace on distant stars
And even when you lock the door
Slide behind the other shades
There won't be so many strangers anymore

Fall sleep with the windows open
Follow me when the worst is said and done
so close your eyes and see me
a little death makes life more meaningful
but it's still a little

Please, sleep my darling, sleep
Your car crashed in slow motion
And I set the pace on distant stars
And one by one the years
Have all gone slower as the moments pass
So please hold on, please hold on

Fall sleep with the windows open
Follow me when the worst is said and done
so close your eyes and see me
a little death makes life more meaningful
but it's still a little
