Alison Moyet - Where Hides Sleep

where hides sleep

where hides sleep
where hides sleep, is the watching me don’t desert me now
where hides sleep, you’re tormenting me don’t forsake me now
(where is she)

take hold of my soul and pull me into darkness
(come to me)

cover me over and stifle my anguish
where hides sleep, she’s avoiding me don’t evade me now
where hides sleep, please don’t torture me don’t forsake me now
(where is she)

I open my lips to your warm ancient potion
(come to me)

I would be still and devoid of emotion

For I would be slumber that I could be the rest
to curl in warm embers of such peacefulness
caressed my oblivion and swallowed by dreams

I want you to hold me and cover my eyes
from the cold distant daylight that holds no surprise
you could make me forget
you could make me believe
if you’d steal away loneliness
by any means
