Try to go to sleep   I’ll stay awake tonight   The rattle of the window   The frost diffuses light   The yard is white with snow   Beyond, the ink black sea   The corridor is dark now   This house and you and me      Night up and above us   Night down below   I try to let it go      Murder mystery   Lies open on my chest   Sleep begins to take me   My mind wants me to rest   An hour left ‘til dawn   I sign to pass the time   But I forget the words now   I can’t recall the rhyme      I get to the chorus   Certain of the song   And then it’s gone      The room is filled with sleep   But I can hear you dream   And even with your arms above your head   You’re stronger than you seem   But if they come for us   I won’t wake you from your sleep   I said that I’d defend you   And that’s a promise that I’ll keep      A noise at the gate now   My pulse starts to run   Here comes the sun   I think I see the sun   I think I see the sun
