Sleep Tight Songtext
von Sylvan

You, my dear, sleep tight!
Leave the day behind you
You, my love, sleep tight!
Let me reach out tonight

I′ll promise to soothe you: no danger will stray
All worries that haunt you, I'll blow them away

Swallowed the pill to fool you, nightmares gobbed distorted lies (lies, lies, lies)
Implicit trust that led to awakenings with bitter cries

Take it away from me, take it away!

So unscrupulous and pharmaceutically blasphemous
It kills a motherly happiness she once could feel
And in her sleep relentlessly emerges an imagery that won′t go away!


Am I asleep or awake? Is it night, is it day? I don't know
I don't know
But for god′s sake, please blow it away!
Am I asleep or awake?
Am I asleep or awake?
Am I asleep, sleep, sleep?
Am I asleep or awake?

I could not trust in you, how should you ever trust me? And I sleep
And I sleep

You, my dear, sleep tight!
Leave your past behind you
You, my love, sleep tight!
Let me blow out the light
