Eric Whitacre - Sleep lyrics

rate me

The evening hangs beneath the moon, a silver thread on darkened dune.

With closing eyes and resting head; I know that sleep is coming soon.

Upon my pillow, safe in bed, a thousand pictures fill my head, I cannot sleep , my mids aflight; and yet my limbs seems made of lead.

Simultaneous Split:

(SAT) If there are noises in the night, a frightening shadow, Flickerering light;

(B) If there are noises in the night, in the night

Then I surrender unto sleep, where cloads of dream give second sight.

What dreams may come, both dark and deep--

Simultaneous Split:

(SA) of flying wings and soaring leap?

-As I surrender unto sleep.-

Repeat 3x

(TB) -dark and deep-

Repeat 3x

...dark, unto sleep

-Sleep-

Repeat at least 10x
