Before I Sleep

Oh, ghosts keep whispering Oh, the feather of a raven's wing turned white by the bird's cheeks Ooh, this chill, when it gonna leave my bones? Take the ache so I can go And be washed in the wilderness Oh, carry my body 'cross the frozen ground While the moon burns bright and the fire fades out I got miles and miles to go before I sleep Before I can feel anything, before I'm free I got miles and miles to go before I sleep Wind blows, covers every single track If I wanted to, I couldn't go back Oh, I just keep stumbling Oh, and it's a sinned kiss facing unforgiving winds Feel the cold, it's creeping in, oh And I just keep stumbling on Oh, carry my body 'cross the frozen ground While the moon burns I got miles and miles to go before I sleep Before I can feel anything, before I'm free I got miles and miles and miles Til the dark gives way to dawn Til the winter, can't hold on I'll crawl tonight, can't walk til I run I've got miles and miles to go before I sleep And I've got miles and miles to go before I weep Before I can dream or feel anything I got miles and miles to go before I sleep Oh, before I can feel anything, before I'm free I got miles and miles to go before I sleep Before I sleep --- Before I Sleep - Joy Williams
