Lyrics
Before I Sleep
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Wake me up in five, six weeks
For we exist at night
And a silent strip of light
Unfurls against the mountain side
