SLEEP by Colin Archibald

Lyrics

VERSE 1

Sleep,

Is all pervading,

All invading,

Filling up

My every thought.

VERSE 2

Sleep,

Is so inviting,

So uniting,

Precious dreams mean

Such a lot.

CHORUS

Unconscious feelings

Of the day before,

Dreaming of the

Clocks turned back.

Wishing you could only

Live again,

Missing things

You lack.

VERSE 3

Sleep,

Is so converting,

So inverting,

Of the normal life

I know.

VERSE 4

Sleep,

Is perchance dreaming,

Quietly scheming,

Leaving thoughts you

Knew before.
