Lyrics for Before I Sleep
Burning, the roads through my mind are on fire For the light you shed was blinding A rabbit, caught in your glow, I am frozen In the yielding tar, sticky and golden I foresee this ending in a shower of flame So drink your holy water soon And I'll wash my loving hands I'm through For I am of the sun And this night is getting on When the dawn breaks warm I'm gone Standing, at the edge of your forest, I'm standing And the milky bed reminds me of the miles I have yet to tread And the heart-stained sheets I used to wrap around my waist Well I hope you find the peace you seek And wake me up in five, six weeks For we exist at night And a silent strip of light Unfurls against the mountain side
