Let Me Sleep Beside You |
| Baby, baby, brush the dust of youth from your shoulder |
| Because the years of fretting days are right behind you now |
| Don’t return to fields of green where rainbow secrets were told |
| Place your ragged doll with all the toys and things and deeds |
| I will show you a game where the winner never wins |
| Let your hair hang down, wear the dress your mother wore |
| Let me sleep beside you |
| Lock away your childhood and throw away the key |
| For now the streets and city sounds will burn your eyes as coals |
| We shall drink the oldest wine and velvet skies will linger |
| Child, you’re a woman now, your heart and soul are free |
| I will boldly light that lamp and we shall walk together |
| Let your hair hang down, wear the dress your mother wore |
| Let me sleep beside you |
| Your darkened eyes throw mystery |
| But your lips are void of history |
| You could not imagine that it could happen this way, could you |
| I will give you dreams and I’ll tell you things you’ll like to hear |
| Let your hair hang down, wear the dress your mother wore |
| Let me sleep beside you |
