(from memory, so tell me if it's wrong!)
Baby... before you go to sleep...
baby...
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 without water
an ocean full of people
where shattered hearts can go.
And love's a golden ripple where answers are so simplee
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.
(repeat intro riff until song ends)
Go to sleep.
