fall to sleep
fall to sleep
it's you i long to keep
but this world
will never stay still
for you and me
close your eyes, dream of fire
and embers that never expire
the flame that only will burn when we retire
don't let me fade from your mind, love
dimmed by the light of the day
out of the darkness
we'll find a way
take my hand, follow me
we'll dance 'til the starlight retreats
and our eyes will never be dry
until we meet
don't let me fade from your mind, love
dimmed by the light of the day
out of the darkness
we'll find a way
when the morning arrives
and the world comes alive
then you'll leave me behind
and we'll try to survive
across the divide
don't let me fade from your mind, love
dimmed by the light of the day
out of the darkness
we'll find a way
fall to sleep
fall to sleep
it's you i long to keep
but this world
will never stay still
for you and me
