| The evening hangs beneath the moon |
| A silver thread on darkened dune |
| With closing eyes and resting head |
| I know that sleep is coming soon |
| Upon my pillow, safe in bed |
| A thousand pictures fill my head |
| I cannot sleep, my mind's aflight |
| And yet my limbs seem made of lead |
| Split: |
| [SAT] If there are noises in the night |
| A frightening shadow, flickering light |
| [B] If there are noises in the night, in the night |
| Then I surrender unto sleep |
| Where clouds of dream give second sight |
| What dreams may come, both dark and deep |
| [Split:] |
| [SA] Of flying wings and soaring leap |
| As I surrender unto sleep? |
| (Repeat 3x) |
| [TB] Dark and deep |
| (Repeat 3x) |
| [Join] ...dark, unto sleep? |
| Sleep |
| (Repeat at least 10x) |
