Rose Kemp - Sister Sleep lyrics

Sister sleep come to my bedside and console me Bring me anyone to hold me For I spend too many waking hours in your company Come and close my darkening eyes With your light and nimble fingers Tiptoe them over my eyelashes and sprinkle me with dust Until time pa**es over us I don't know if you save souls But could you pick mine up off the floor as you go And bring it back tomorrow Or bring me one I can borrow for the day, just for the day Sister sleep sing me a story with your gentle voice Give me just one reason to rejoice Come and take this silence come and drown out this noise Can I be forgiven 'til morning sun Can I be your angel 'til judgement comes I can see the sun I don't know if you save souls But could you pick mine up off the floor as you go And bring it back tomorrow When you wake me into this sorrow Or could you bring me a soul I can borrow For the day, just for the day
