Sleep
is a rose,
but I only hear the gale wind
Blowing cold against my window
As I fall, then I curl my leg
around yours in a hole
I said, darling,
I'm scared of growing old
I'm sorry if I'm loud
I'm just wor rying about that now
As I lay here,
I'm still waiting for the sun
And you said sleep is a rose
But I wanna tell you
It only brings me fear
And you said sleep is a rose
But I wanna tell you, it only brings me fear
I started to listen to every little sound
So how am I supposed to forget silence?
As I fold and I curl my old hand
around yours and I hold
You said, my love,
I'll take you to the fairground
And I know you're not around,
you're sleeping and talking now
And I'm still laying here,
just waiting for the sun
And you said sleep is a rose,
that I wanna tear
It only brings me fear
And you said sleep is a rose,
that I wanna tear
It only brings me fear
And you said, boy, you better know
That you got this love
And you said, boy, you better know
That you got this love
Yeah, you said sleep is a rose
But I wanna tell you,
it only brings me fear
Yeah, you said sleep is a rose
But I wanna tell you, it only brings me fear
So I hope the morning comes
around soon
