Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Come Into My Sleep lyrics

rate me

Now that mountains of meaningless words

and oceans divide us

And we each have our own set of stars

to comfort and guide us

Come into my sleep

Come into my sleep, oh yeah

Dry your eyes and do not weep

Come into my sleep

Swim to me through the deep blue sea

upon the scattered stars set sail

Fly to me through this love-lit night

from one thousand miles away

And come into my sleep

Come into my sleep oh yeah

As midnight nears and shadows creep

Come into my sleep

Bind my dreams up in your tangled hair

For I am sick at heart, my dear

Bind my dreams up in your tangled hair

For all the sorrow it will pass, my dear

Take your accusation, your recriminations

and toss them into the ocean blue

Leave your regrets and impossible longings

and scatter them across the sky behind you

And come into my sleep

Come into my sleep

For my soul to comfort and keep

Come into my sleep

For my soul to comfort and keep - my sleep

Come on,

Come on,

Come on,
