Lyrics

Where hides sleep
Is she watching me
Don't desert me now
Where hides sleep
You're tormenting me
Don't forsake me now
Take hold of my soul and pull me into darkness
Come to me
Cover me over and stifle my anguish

Where hides sleep
She's avoiding me
Don't evade me now
Where hides sleep
Please don't torture me
Don't forsake me now
I open my lips to your warm ancient potion
Come to me
I would be still and devoid of emotion

For I would be slumber that I could be rest
Curl in warm embers of such peacefulness
Caressed by oblivion, swallowed by dreams
I want you to hold me, cover my eyes
From the cold distant daylight that holds no surprise
You could make me forget, make me believe
If you'd steal away loneliness by any means
By any means

Where hides sleep
Is she watching me
Don't desert me now
Where hides sleep
You're tormenting me
Don't forsake me now
Where is she
Take hold of my soul and pull me into darkness
Come to me
Cover me over and stifle my anguish
Where is she
I open my lips to your warm ancient potion
Come to me
I would be still and devoid of emotion

Where hides sleep
She's avoiding me
Don't evade me now
Where hides sleep
Please don't torture me
Don't forsake me now
