Wait For Sleep Lyrics

Wait For Sleep lyrics

standing by the window 

eyes upon you 

Hoping that the memory 

will leave her spirit soon 



She shuts the doors and lights 

and lays her body on the bed 

where images and words are 

running deep 

She has too much pride to pull 

the sheets above
her head 

So quietly she lays and 

waits for sleep 



She stares at the ceiling 

and tries not to think 

and pictures
the chain 

shes been trying to link again 

but the feeling is gone




And water cant cover her memory 

and ashes cant answer her
pain 

God give me the power to take a 

breath from a breeze 

And call life from a cold 

metal frame 



In with the ashes


Or up with the smoke from the fire 

With wings up in heaven 

or here, lying in bed 

palm of her hand to my head 

Now and
forever curled in my heart 

and the heart of the world
