...Only Sleep - The Crüxshadows

In this fading realm of silent dreams

All falls quiet in front of me

I have to think, I must believe

That this is only sleep

As the day has tread into the night

And memory is painted white

A kiss will carry you away

And find us another place

Still I want again to hold your hand

A moment more to understand

How much it means, these little things

To savor one more smile

But in the silence nothing stirs

Not a rising breath to reassure

So I hang my head and hold you close

For this is only sleep

And that’s the way I watch the sky

With a simple prayer to sail her by I have to think, I must believe

That this is only sleep

Only sleep, only sleep

Only sleep, only sleep

If morning comes and all is quiet

A liftetime dances in my mind

But I have to think, I must believe

That this is only sleep,

And that’s the way I watch the sky

With a simple prayer to sail her by I have to think, I must believe

That this is only sleep

Only sleep, only sleep

Only sleep, only sleep

And that’s the way I watch the sky

With a simple prayer to sail her by I have to think, I must believe

That this is only sleep

I have to think, I must believe

That this is only sleep

Only sleep…
