figure of divine perfection no one s loved with more affection soul to soul we ve breathed oh i won t let the fates succeed worried hours of contemplation whispered bits of conversation unaffected orderlies disinfected rooms and hallways and if you sleep you sleep with god and if i cry it s for my heart why should i hope to make it through cause if you sleep i ll sleep too jagged thorns and pretty petals butterflies and stinging nettles sunny days and nights of blackness but where s the joy to cure my sadness and if you sleep you sleep with god and if i cry it s for my heart why should i hope to make it through cause if you sleep i ll sleep too gleaming cars and covered faces teary eyes in hallowed places grass and granite stone no one s been more all alone and if you sleep you sleep with god and if i cry it s for my heart why should i hope to make it through cause if you sleep i ll sleep too why should i hope to make it through cause if you sleep i ll sleep too
