Sleeper

To take you in

Is to feel a great sadness

Is to hold a great hope

Heavy in my chest

To let you go

Is to lose my balance

Is to fall into silence

Is to wait, wait, wait

Oh sleeper, my keeper of days

We can't get back the Spring

Once it's passed

For I was born

In a colder time

And we made our vows in ice

And steel

Oh sleeper, you kissed me for luck

Did you know we found

The morning

Oh sleeper, my keeper of days

We can't get back the Spring

Once it's passed

To take you in

Is to feel a great sadness

Is to hold a great hope

So I'll make you a bed

In a bed in fields

'Cause we can't get back the Spring

Once it's passed
