MELISSA ETHERIDGE lyrics : "Sleep"

After your laughter like thunder
After your skin like coffee and cream
After it takes our bodies into the night

After we've come to the extreme

I want to lay down on your shoulder

Just inside your arm
I want to listen to your heart beat
And your breathing on and on

I want to lay down on your shoulder
Surrender to your peace
And go to sleep


And when we've gone a million miles
Made true our dreams with sweat and bone

After we've built it up with our bare hands
Made strong a place we can call home


And when the light in my eye is fading
When running water becomes too deep
Finally angels turn my fire to dust

And when my soul's no longer mine to keep

I want to lay down on your shoulder

Just inside your arm
I want to listen to your heartbeat
And your breathing on and on

I want to lay down on your shoulder
Surrender to the peace
And just go to sleep
