Sleep
Erik Ravn
Sleep
The velvet darkness
Where time stands still
Those sweet hours
Where the challenged finds
A moment's refuge
Embrace the warm shadows
Unconscious the truth
The torn soul leaves its house
And journeys on moonpaths
To the egde of the world
And for a brief while
Again you feel the caress of the wind
On the plains of evermore
Bird of sleep come carry us
Upon the wings of freedom
Journey to the refuge on the other side
Play again like children
Without sorrow in our hearts
And when you fly us back
We'll shine with the morning star
