Sleep lyrics

Song information

Artist: Marianne Faithfull
Album: A Secret Life

Lyrics

It is safe to sleep alone
In a place no one knows
And to seek life under stones
In a place water flows

It is best to find in sleep
The missing pieces that you lost
Best that you refuse to weep
Ash to ash, dust to dust

It is strange to sleep alone
In a place no one knows
Strange to shelter under stones
In a place water flows

It is safe to walk with me
Where you can read the sky and stars
Safe to walk upon the sea
In my sleep we can go far

It is safe to sleep alone
In a place no one knows
And to shelter under stones
In a place water flows

It is strange to sleep alone
In a place no one goes
Strange to seek life under stones
In my sleep no one knows
