Drift Off

Let me lay by your side Innocence kept in mind Mind, mine Let me hold gentle lies Offer me no advice Vice, vice And if I do drift off to sleep I hope that you won't worry We'll both rise in morning light Resigned to silently leave Let our hands softly meet Easy like poetry You, me You can still be carefree And let yourself care about me Carefully I think I may drift off to sleep No need to pray or worry We'll both rise in morning light With muted eyes and heartbeats You try so hard to stay awake Mind the dreams of others on the way
