Why not just sleep forever, somewhere discreet?
I hold my hands to my chest,
But I feel a steady beat,

I feel a man who's blessed

Holes into the heavens, gently dotted in the sky

Gateways to my heart piercing through to where I lie
The only sound is a distant hum, as a city sleeps I'm overcome
In audience of such majesty, I wouldn't mind to die


Lay me down in the sleeping grass
As the summer air breathes slowly past

Your hand in mine we count the stars
Your hand in mine, this moment is ours


Away from the noise, away from it all
Staring into the sky no longer feeling so small
I hold my hands to my chest

I feel a steady beat
I know I'm blessed


As you lay me down, in the sleeping grass
For a moment all fear has come to pass
In this moment we sing as the stars come out

In this moment I see beyond any doubt

As you lay me down

I feel a surging beat
As you lay me down


Holes into the heavens, gently dotted in the sky
Gateways to my heart
The only sound, a distant hum, as a city sleeps I'm overcome

I'm overcome

In this moment we sing as the stars come out

In this moment I see beyond any doubt
