Come Into My Sleep - Lyrics by Nick Cave


Lyrics
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,

[repeat and fade]
