Sacred Sleep

I was out on the highway
And I was drinking the rain
I was watching the cars passing by
When I felt something move in my brain

I went down to the oak tree
And I said: "What a day"
"All I can do is throw shade upon you"
Said the oak tree and moved out my way

As I was walking down Broad Street
I was yawning and calling your name

Sacred sleep, won't you come over me
'Cause I can't take it all at once
The terrors of day seem so far away
Now that I rest in your arms

You were somewhere below me
And I was up in the air
I could see you were leaving again
But I felt that I just didn't care

"Don't you want me to tell you
What it was that was wrong?
You try and you care and you wish you were there
But in the end it is all but a song"

So you went walking down Broad Street
And you took everything but your name

Sacred sleep, won't you come over me
'Cause I can't take it all at once
The terrors of day seem so far away
Now that I rest in your arms

Sacred sleep, will you stay here with me
'Cause it's all gone so horribly wrong
Oh, sacred sleep
Will you excuse my mistakes from the past
Once I'm lying here sleeping at last
