Lover Lover Be My Cover by Dory Previn Lyrics

Lover lover be my cover

Till the night begins to fade

Oh the demons i have danced with

Lover lover i'm afraid

To fall asleep

The night is dark and deep

And i am so afraid to sleep

To fall asleep and dream

Lover lover let you body

Be my curtain be my shade

I'm well acquainted with confusion
Lover lover i'm afraid

To fall asleep

The night is dark and deep

And i am so afraid to sleep

To fall asleep and dream

Something waits

'neath the water

Shapes and shadows drifting near

Someone watches

In the darkness

Lover won't you make him disappear

Hold my tense and tired body

I am scared to close my eyes
How i wish

The reassuring sun would rise

Lover lover be my cover

So those demons won't parade

'round me while i lie defenseless

Lover lover i'm afraid

To fall asleep

And dream

Lover lover be my cover

So those demons won't parade

'round me while i lie defenseless

Lover lover i'm afraid

To fall asleep
The night is dark and deep

And i am so afraid to sleep

To fall asleep

And die
