Let Me Sleep Beside You - David Bowie

Let Me Sleep Beside You - David Bowie
Baby baby brush the dust of youth
From your shoulder
Because the years of fretting days
Are right behind you now
Don't return to fields of green
Where rainbow secrets were told
Place your ragged doll with all the toys
And things and deeds
I will show you a game
Where the winner never wins
Let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you
Lock away your childhood and throw away the key
For now the streets
And city sounds will burn your eyes as coals
We shall drink the oldest wine
And velvet skies will linger
Child you're a woman now
Your heart and soul are free
I will boldly light that lamp
And we shall walk together
Let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you
Your darkened eyes throw mystery
But your lips are void of history
You could not imagine
That it could happen this way could you
I will give you dreams
And I'll tell you things you'll like to hear
Let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you
Let me sleep beside you
