There was a time
When I could paint a picture of ya without opening my eyes
And I know that I still could
Now I will hold you
Now we will sleep
Now I will breathe the scent of your sweet skin
But I'm just remembering
There was a time when this brass bed of mine was ours every night
And your skin was white in that soft summer moonlight
And you gently pressed it
Against my chest and
This communion of flesh and your slow and steady breathing
Was my sweetest evening hymn
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
May all your dreams be sweet tonight
May all your dreams be sweet tonight
No seasons do change and so do our minds
This big bed's become a prison, a prison of mine
That I have been building just to pass the time
As I long for days gone on by
Oh where did my lullaby go?
How was I to know
That our time together was like
The passing of the night?
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
May all your dreams be sweet
May all your dreams be sweet
