Sleep, my darling, sleep
And I will wait beside you
Though the night is cold
And the darkness deep
I have made a promise I will keep
Yes, I will wait with you
In your eyes I see
A hope that I remember
All the days that cover and bury me
Fall away like snow from winter trees
Fall away, and I am free
All these things of this world mean so little to me
They're the chains that we break
when we wake from our dreams
But my love, my love will remain
Through the worlds we have lost
And the worlds we have gained
I have felt the years
Break like waves upon the shoreline
I have heard the seagulls cry my name
Saying wake, the time won't come again
Yes, I will wait with you
