lyrics

This is the bed made on my own
This is the Hymn I sing alone
No mystery for her nor me
Only the loneliness beneath

I write her songs I leave her poems
I think of her and her alone
Her destiny is meant for me
I need her and I need to know

Sleep with me sleep with me sleep with me
I need your sympathy
Tear all the runes from your eyelids
And think of my needs

I watch her move from room to room
I hide under a bright new moon
I wait for her to be alone
I follow her into her home

Sleep with me sleep with me sleep with me
I need your sympathy
Tear all the runes from your eyelids
And think of my needs

Sleep with me stay with me pity me
Lend me your dignity
Lie on the bed do the line
While I pry open thine knees
