O Sleep by Lisa Hannigan Lyrics
[Verse 1: Lisa Hannigan, Ray LaMontagne]
O sleep, come for me, I will go quietly
Where the roof doesn't leak in my heart
O sleep, come for me
I'm a boat, sprung a leak
I'll hide and you'll seek a new start
[Chorus: Lisa Hannigan & Ray LaMontagne]
For me, 'til dawn, I'll be too gone
To care how grey the day is
The dreams that it chases away
They stay asleep
[Verse 1: Ray LaMontagne, Lisa Hannigan]
O Sleep, come for me
I will come willingly
Like a leaf on the tree in October
O Sleep, come for me, I wait hopefully
I was drunk on a dream now I'm sober
[Chorus: Lisa Hannigan & Ray LaMontagne]
From now until dawn
It can't be too long for me
I count the hours
'til I sleep with your feet by my feet
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus: Lisa Hannigan & Ray LaMontagne]
From now until dawn
It can't be too long for me
I count the hours
'til I sleep with your feet by my feet
[Outro: Lisa Hannigan & Ray LaMontagne]
Your breath on my cheek, asleep
Asleep
Asleep
O sleep, come for me, I will go quietly
Where the roof doesn't leak in my heart
O sleep, come for me
I'm a boat, sprung a leak
I'll hide and you'll seek a new start
[Chorus: Lisa Hannigan & Ray LaMontagne]
For me, 'til dawn, I'll be too gone
To care how grey the day is
The dreams that it chases away
They stay asleep
[Verse 1: Ray LaMontagne, Lisa Hannigan]
O Sleep, come for me
I will come willingly
Like a leaf on the tree in October
O Sleep, come for me, I wait hopefully
I was drunk on a dream now I'm sober
[Chorus: Lisa Hannigan & Ray LaMontagne]
From now until dawn
It can't be too long for me
I count the hours
'til I sleep with your feet by my feet
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus: Lisa Hannigan & Ray LaMontagne]
From now until dawn
It can't be too long for me
I count the hours
'til I sleep with your feet by my feet
[Outro: Lisa Hannigan & Ray LaMontagne]
Your breath on my cheek, asleep
Asleep
Asleep
