Sleeper Lyrics

To take you in is t feel a great sadness,
is t hold a great hope, heavy in my chest.
To let you go, is to lose my balance,
is to fall into silence and wait wait wait.
Oh sleeper, my keeper of days
We can't get back the spring once it's passed.

When love was born in colder times, our vows in ice and steel,
Oh sleeper, you kissed me for luck.
But did you know me from the morning.

Oh sleeper, my keeper of days
we can't get back the spring once it's passed

To take you in is to feel a great sadness,
is to hold a great hope...
So i'll make you a bed in a barren field
cause we can't get back the spring once it's passed
