Sleep - Marianne Faithfull

It is safe to sleep alone

In a place no one knows

And to seek life under stones

In a place water flows

It is best to find in sleep

The missing pieces that you lost

Best that you refuse to weep

Ash to ash, dust to dust

It is strange to sleep alone

In a place no one knows

Strange to shelter under stones

In a place water flows

It is safe to walk with me

Where you can read the sky and stars

Safe to walk upon the sea

In my sleep we can go far

It is safe to sleep alone

In a place no one knows

And to shelter under stones

In a place water flows

It is strange to sleep alone

In a place no one goes

Strange to seek life under stones

In my sleep no one knows
