Typhoon - Sleep lyrics

One, two, three, four We can all agree It’s a mixed bag for the living Full of sorrow, full of grief I ran inside the place For the single thought that could comfort me Something small, something sweet It was once in the spring You were on the porch, heard you singing From inside, sat and listened through the screen Now it’s the time The last life raft leaving my mind As it sinks out of sight Would you stay for a while Put your gnarled hands into mine Hold me down, feel so light, I could just float away Just don’t let me go to sleep So long, my sweet Maybe next time that we meet We’ll be whole, we’ll be weightless, we’ll be free Don’t let me go to sleep Just don’t let me go to sleep Just don’t let me go to sleep It’s a mixed bag for the living Full of sorrow, full of grief And the moment stretches on Like the first day school and I’ve answered wrong Like a self enclosed short circuit goes Like a self enclosed short circuit goes Around forever until it’s gone
