Showbread Album: Age of Reptiles Track: Sing Me to Sleep
Sing Me to Sleep Lyrics
Something keeps me awake, something outside is stirring Through the dark and over the grass The rabbits and snakes are concurring They sing in the soil and bones rattle loud They cry out as this they do see Someone in those walls is suffering proud For you are worth every ache within me
I don't hear music, don't hear anything I see dirt, I see cement What a troubled world it is when you're outside arms length It pulls out it's teeth in dry irreverence
Come and find me on this floor I am only a half, truth be told Take away all the distance and say: "my beloved, I'm here, and now you are whole" If I turn and see your eyes in the dark I will know the blue in an instant Never have they gone so far Never has your face been distant My life I will give you like a verse and a ring I will be your only one And what you ask of me will be yours until all is said and done
Your heart is a song that I hear Jesus sing It comes over oceans to me And the notes spell out messages in vibrant streams And what's written you show only me
But if you can't close up all the gaps tonight Put me to bed in your way You see right through everything I am For you my insides are displayed Sing me to sleep my beautiful one I will love only you for all time Sing me to sleep my only one With promises that you are all mine
Be still my heart, I hear your back cracking It sounds like music to me I see your face and I can hardly breath It looks just like a song to me
