Sleep

It is safe to sleep alone In a place no one knows And to seek life under stones In a place water flows It is best to find in sleep The missing pieces that you lost Best that you refuse to weep Ash to ash, dust to dust It is strange to sleep alone In a place no one knows Strange to shelter under stones In a place water flows It is safe to walk with me Where you can read the sky and stars Safe to walk upon the sea In my sleep we can go far It is safe to sleep alone In a place no one knows And to shelter under stones In a place water flows It is strange to sleep alone In a place no one goes Strange to seek life under stones In my sleep, no one knows --- Sleep - Marianne Faithfull
