Lyrics
V1
Can't you see
How your love has turned on me?
You have lost
What once set you free.
You were blind and your eyes had deceived
What is Real.
Chorus:
Sleep Sweet Child
It is all that is left for you.
Nowhere else for you to go.
Sleep Sweet Child
It will come so naturally,
And finally set you free from me.
V2.
Now I see
What you really wanted from me.
You would steal the air that I breathe.
Just to feel what you thought I could feel;
What is Real.
Chorus:
Sleep Sweet Child
It is all that is left for you.
Nowhere else for you to go.
Sleep Sweet Child
It will come so naturally,
And finally set you free from me.
V3.
Now you see
How your love has turned on me.
That you have lost what once set you free.
That you were blind and your I's had deceived;
What is Real.
Chorus (x4)
