Don'T Let Me Fall Back To Sleep

My love, please, don't let me fall back to sleep But hold me while I cry soft in the night My dreaming is full of nightmares, my sweet Yes, I'm tired, but this price is too steep You see, in each dream I lose you, each time My love, please, don't let me fall back to sleep I was in a crowd, all blank-faced as sheep I looked for you; you were nowhere in sight My dreaming is full of nightmares, my sweet I was running through a forest, running through trees Then I saw the snakes lunging in the half-light My love, please, don't let me fall back to sleep Never have I known dreaming to be so bleak Never had something to lose, to for fight My dreaming is full of nightmares, my sweet I don't want to sleep alone; come now please Come to me so I can finally breathe My love, please, don't let me fall back to sleep My dreaming is full of nightmares, my sweet
