Sleep is a rose But I only hear the gale wind blowing cold Against my windows As I fold then I curl my leg around yours in a hold I said, "darling, I'm scared of growing old" I'm sorry if I'm loud I'm just worrying about that now 'Cause I lay here I'm still waiting for the sun And you said sleep is a rose But I wanna tell you it only brings me fear And you said sleep is a rose But I wanna tell you it only brings me fear I started to listen to every little sound And so how am I supposed to forget silence? As I fold and I curl my own head around yours in a hold You said, "my love, I'll take you to the fairground" I know you're not around You're sleeping and talking now And I'm still laying here Just waiting for the sun And you said sleep is a rose But I wanna tell you it only brings me fear And you said sleep is a rose But I wanna tell you it only brings me fear And you said, "boy, you better know that you got this love" And you said, "boy, you better know that you got this love" And you said sleep is a rose But I wanna tell you it only brings me fear Yeah, you said sleep is a rose But I wanna tell you it only brings me fear So I hope morning comes 'round soon
