Go to Sleep
Go to sleep! My darling
Rest your head on my gentle arm
Listen to the song of my love
And go to sleep
Sleep your peaceful rest, darling
This stifling heat of summer
I am fanning it all away
Be mindless of the temporal ties of days
For I am here and here to stay
Sleep! My darling
The nightmares are no more
The endless fall in darkness
The drown in raging ocean
The incineration of lives
Are no more
Sleep your beauty rest! My darling
And you’ll see
I am the mighty ship that sails us safely at stormy seas
I am the glaring light at the abyss of darkness
That takes flight to heaven, and there we’ll be
There, we’ll dance in the field of blossoming tulips
An ocean of butterflies in the morning breeze
A brook that runs down to a water fall
Then to a lake that shelters it all
Sleep my love! Sleep in my love
Go to sleep!
Go to sleep!
