What, am I suspended here? Should I kid myself that I have no fear? I get no choice, I just have to wait It may already be too late I don't know what's goin' on She is here, but I am gone I am gone My love is lyin' here She's far away though she looks so near "Time will tell", she says to me When a warm coat is all I need Her peace of mind, her strentgh of will It will come, she's sure it will But how can I put my mind at rest? I feel I'm comin' off second best And I'm cut with my own knife Is this a dream or is it real life? Oh, sleep, come on me soon I can't bear this lonely room Look at that hand lying there The room is dark, she shows no fear I'm lying still, my eyes are wide My heart is pumpin', I'm still alive I'm still awake against my will What will it ever take to still this burning in me? And I'm cut with my own knife Is this a dream or is it real life? Oh, sleep, come on me soon I can't bear this lonely room Sleep, come on me soon I can't bear this lonely room Sleep, don't take too long Can't keep singing this lonely song Sleep, come on me soon
