Where Hides Sleep

Where hides sleep; is she watching me? Don't desert me now. Where hides sleep; you're tormenting me. Don't forsake me now. Take hold of my soul, and pull me into darkness. Cover me over, and stifle my anguish. Where hides sleep; she's avoiding me. Don't evade me now. Where hides sleep; please don't torture me. Don't forsake me now. I open my lips to your warm ancient potion. I would be still and devoid of emotion, For I would be slumber that I could be rest. Curl in warm embers of such peacefulness. Caressed by oblivion, and swallowed by dreams. I want you to hold me, and cover my eyes. From the cold distant daylight; Holds no surprise. --- Where Hides Sleep - Alison Moyet
