Lyrics
The Sleeper
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.
On calm black waves she rides
Where the stars they always sleep
She lies on her long veils
Floating through the endless deep
And all alone she sails
As the silent river flows
She dreams of lonely worlds
As the breezes come and go
As the breezes come and go
And still she sleeps
She passes through a land
Filled with sadness, filled with tears
She's sleeping through it all
As she's dreaming of the years
That came before the pain
And her getle fall from grace
The river flowers wilt
As the tears stream down her face
And I am a hollow man
See my soul its torn apart
And I need to understand
How this sadness stole her heart
I am a hollow man
See my world its torn apart
And I need to understand
How this sadness stole her heart
What came before the pain?
And her gentle fall from grace
The river flowers wilt
As the tears stream down her face
And still she sleeps
Sweet dreams my love
