leave me be

Oh, gentle fiend of escape You're all I've known Sleep now and before you awake Know you are home Hold my hand and gather All of my fright Take me somewhere where my Dreams aren't falling down Sing me softly to sleep every night Don't leave me be And I will stay out Be lost until morning Hoping I will not be found I'll float in the river 'till the birds start calling But I will not wake with them now Whisper, sing softly to me Send me away I know that now in my dreams I will be safe Hold my hand and gather All of my fright Take me somewhere where my Dreams aren't falling down Sing me softly to sleep every night Don't leave me be And I will stay out Be lost until morning Hoping I will not be found I'll float in the river 'till the birds start calling But I will not wake with them now I've known no peace until now Oh, lay me down I've known no joy, part from few 'till I found you
