Sleep - Nightingale

I see the day is coming

The night is led astray

The dawn of new desires

The end of yesterday

I walk the road to nowhere

Ah, that’s what I call home

If I only knew what I was heading for

But I don’t have a place to roam

And then I heard the voices calling

Across the sky in flames

I could hear them clearer now

Once again I could hear them say:

Dream, dream!

I hear the shadows say

Go to sleep my friend!

But I’ll remain awake

Dream, dream!

I hear the shadows say

Go to sleep my friend!

Dream, dream!

I hear the shadows say

Go to sleep my friend!

Could be my last mistake

Dream, dream!

I hear the shadows say

Go to sleep my friend!

From a place of shelter

Where I could get some rest

I was so cold but I couldn’t care

And soon the sun caressed

Dream, dream!

I hear the shadows say

Go to sleep my friend!

But I’ll remain awake

Dream, dream!

I can hear them say

Close your eyes my friend!

Dream, dream!

I hear the voices say

Go to sleep my friend!

I’ll make no more mistake

Dream, dream!

I could hear them say

Go to sleep my friend!

My frozen eyes refuse to see

Something tells me it’s too dangerous to sleep

It’s like I’ve been thru this before

Here I am!

Frozen to the core

…Frozen to the core…

I know I must be dreaming

Or am I still awake

Hallucinations rule me

But right now, what difference does it make?

…I am falling again…

Dream, dream!

I hear the shadows say

Go to sleep my friend!

But I remain awake

Dream, dream!

I hear the shadows say

Go to sleep my friend!

Dream, dream!

I hear the darkness breathe

Go to sleep my friend!

And I fade away

Dream, dream!

I heard the voices say

Close your eyes my friend!

And now I fade away

Dream, dream!

And now I fade away…
