  • O Sleep, come for me, I will go quietly
    Where the roof doesn't leak in my heart
    O Sleep, come for me, I'm a boat, sprung a leak
    I'll hide and you'll seek a new start

    For me. Til dawn, I'll be too gone
    To care how grey the day is
    The dreams that it chases away
    They stay asleep

    O sleep, come for me, I will come willingly
    Like a leaf from a tree in October
    O sleep, come for me, I wait hopefully
    I was drunk on a dream, now I'm sober

    From now until dawn, it can't be too long for me
    I count the hours ‘tiI I sleep with your feet by my feet
    Your breath on my cheek, asleep Writer/s: Gavin Glass, Lisa Hannigan
