Lyrics Marianne Faithfull

Marianne Faithfull

Sleep

It is safe to sleep alone

In a place no one knows

And to seek life under stones

In a place water flows.

It is best to find in sleep

The missing pieces that you lost

Best that you refuse to weep

Ash to ash, dust to dust.

It is strange to sleep alone

In a place no one knows

Strange to shelter under stones

In a place water flows.

It is safe to walk with me

Where you can read the sky and stars,

Safe to walk upon the sea

In my sleep we can go far.

It is safe to sleep alone

In a place no one knows

And to shelter under stones

In a place water flows.

It is strange to sleep alone

In a place no one goes,

Strange to seek life under stones.

In my sleep no one knows.
