Go To Sleep

There’s a shadow on the terrace
a snow dance for the living
there’s heavy weather on the way
I heard it on the news

And life’s a tough principal who won’t reward the losers
your name is on the tea-cup
there’s nothing I can do

But to wish you’d think about me
before you go to sleep
and I wish you the best there is
before you go to sleep

There are tears without the colour
a million seas with water
an ocean full of people where shattered hearts can go

And love’s a golden ripple where answers are so simple
but the explanations are very hard to do

And I wish you’d think about me
before you go to sleep
and I wish you the best there is
before you go to sleep
go to sleep
