Please sleep, my darlin', 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 darlin', sleep   Your death by information   Won't disturb the peace on distant stars      And even when you lock the doors   And slide behind the unlit shades   None of us saw strangers anymore      Fall asleep with the windows open   Come to me with the worst you've said and done   You'll close your eyes and see me   A little death makes life more meaningful   I stand no chance at all      Please sleep, my darlin', sleep   Your car crash in slow motion   Won't upset the pace on distant stars      And one by one the years of our lives   Stumble as the moments pass   So please hold on, please hold on      So fall asleep with the windows open   Come to me with the worst you've said and done   You'll close your eyes and see me   A little death makes life more meaningful   I stand no chance at all      Please sleep, my darlin', sleep   Please sleep, my darlin', sleep      So fall asleep with the windows open   Come to me with the worst you've said and done   You'll close your eyes and see me   A little death makes life more meaningful   I stand no chance at all
