Komm in meinen Schlaf English translation
von Subway to Sally

Swim to me through the blue sea
Use the current and the wind
Soon you’ll smell the nearing land
Sweetly scented with hyacinth
Stars will guide you on your way
A thousand miles are not so far
Midnight draws ever near
But you still have time enough

First comes desire, then comes regret
We’ll extinguish them both like light
And the night with all its chills
Yields to dreamt-of confidence

Come into my sleep
Come into my sleep
Dry my tears
Come into my sleep


Come into my sleep
Come into my sleep
Dry my tears
Come into my sleep

Weave your dreams
Into my tangled, tousled hair
Images drift through our minds
As changeable as the moon

Our fears, our worries
We’ll cast into the blue sea
But already by the next morning
A new nightmare presses heavily

First comes desire, then comes regret
When a wish is granted you
At the very same time hope dies
And greed remains unsatisfied

I come into your sleep
I come into your sleep
I give you new tears
I come into your sleep


I come into your sleep
I come into your sleep
I give you new tears
I come into your sleep

First comes desire, then regret
We’ll extinguish them both like light
And the night with all its chills
Yields to dreamt-of confidence

I come into your sleep
I come into your sleep
I give you new tears
I come into your sleep

I come into your sleep
I come into your sleep
I give you new tears
I come into your sleep
