Hemlock

Sleep my dear, sleep my precious
Everything will be just fine
Embrace this moment
Breathe, give in to this

Just one more step
To your place of rest
Just one more breath
Sleep now, my love

Close your eyes
It will all go away
Hold onto me
I will protect you

Just one more mile
'Til we make it home
Just one more sunset
Sleep now, my one

Lay your head down
I will sing you to sleep
Everything will be just fine
I will make them go away

This is the last step
The last mile, the last struggle
Embrace this moment
Breathe, close your eyes
You're home at last
Just breathe, give in to this
Give in
Give in

Everything will be just fine
I will protect you
I will make them go away
Sleep my love
Sleep my precious
