Nick Cave & The Bad Seed - Come Into My Sleep Lyrics

Now that mountains of meaningless words

And oceans divide us;

And we each have our own set of stars

To comfort and guide us...

Come into my sleep,

Come into my sleep,

Oh, yeah...

Dry your eyes and do not weep

And come into my sleep.



Swim to me through the deep blue sea,

Upon the scattered stars set sail;

Fly to me through this love-lit night,

From one thousand miles away...

And come into my sleep,

Come into my sleep,

Oh, yeah...

As midnight nears and shadows creep,

Come into my sleep.



Bind my dreams up in your tangled hair,

For I am sick at heart, my dear.

Bound my dreams up in your tangled hair,

For all sorrow it will pass, my dear...



Take your accusations, your recriminations

And toss 'em into the ocean blue;

Leave all of your regrets and impossible longings

And scatter them across the sky behind you...

And come into my sleep,

Come into my sleep,

For my soul to comfort and keep:

Come into my sleep,

Oh yeah...

For my soul to comfort and keep...

My sleep...

Come on...
