Before I Sleep Lyrics

Old ghosts keep whispering on the feather of a raven's wing
turned white by the birch trees
Ooh, this chill; when you gonna leave my bones?
Take the ache so I can go and be washed in the wilderness
Carry my body across the frozen ground
while the moon burns bright and the fire fades out

I've got miles and miles to go before I sleep
Before I can feel anything
Before I am free
I got miles and miles to go before I sleep

Wind blows, covers every single track
If I wanted to, I couldn't go back; I just keep stumbling
It's a stinging kiss facing unforgiving winds
Feel the cold; it's creeping in, and I just keep stumbling on
Carry my body 'cross the frozen ground while the moon burns

I've got miles and miles to go before I sleep
Before I can feel anything
Before I am free
I got miles and miles and miles...

'Til the dark gives way to dawn
'Til the winter can't hold on
I will crawl 'til I can walk,
'til I run
I've got miles and miles to go before I sleep...
And I've got miles and miles to go before I weep
Before I can dream, or feel anything...

I've got miles and miles to go before I sleep
Before I can feel anything
Before I am free
I got miles and miles to go before I sleep

Before I sleep...
