Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
And carry you over to a new morning

So if you love me, let me go.
And run away before I know.
My heart is just too dark to care.
I can't destroy what isn't there.

Just once
Never again
Our story began.
I am so grateful for tenderness.
Give it to me till the whole world ends.

If you search for tenderness
It isn't hard to find
You can have the love you need to live
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind
It always seems to be so hard to give

Your breath is sweet,
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie.
But I don't sense affection,
No gratitude or love,
Your loyalty is not to me,
But to the stars above.
