The Sleeper Lyrics


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
