Sleep of Angels
my head on your shoulder
I listen to your heart beat
your breathing soft and even
while I hear you sleep
my face hidden in shadows
the darkness of the room
the stars drifting from the sky
and clouds conceal my moon
why can't I surrender
and give it all to you
and sleep the sleep of angels
when I lay down my truth
with my head on your shoulder
I listen to your heart beat
the love song that it plays
the lyrics just for me
