Sleepless Nights
MIRIEL
Sleepless nights
Windows open
Curtains floating in the wind
Starry skies
Silvery lights
Moonbeams dancing on the walls
The world is sleeping now
So silent
The world is sleeping now
It’s so still
I’ve counted a hundred sheep, but I am still awake
Turning around in my sheets wishing that you were here
The world is sleeping now, are you?
Golden hair
Tickling your arm
As I lay down on your shoulder
I am cold, but
Your feet are warm
You pull me closer to you
The world is sleeping now
So silent
The world is sleeping now
It’s so still
I’ve counted a hundred sheep, but I am still awake
Turning around in my sheets wishing that you were here
The world is sleeping now, are you?
The world is sleeping now, are you?
The nearness of you is what sings me to sleep at night
I feel in my bones, in my stomach you’re not beside me
If I could sleep I would dream that you never left
Listening to every heartbeat, my head on your chest
The world is sleeping now, are you?
The world is sleeping now, are you?
