Towards Sleep
The Church · Other Songs - The Church
Trust her distant island cluster
Protecting her from intrusive things
I know I really shouldn't trust her
She's looked at all my dreams
Now she's hiding out in the distance somewhere
Falling down towards sleep
Gotta get a little feeling out there
Gotta get in deep
(Second time only)
Before she goes to sleep, to dream about guitars
One of the sisters is a flight assistant
One of them is a plane
One of them is a typhoon
Never going back again
One of their mothers was a mother lode
One of them was a mermaid
One of them was a long gone woman
Do you think that's funny?
Now she's hiding out in the distance somewhere
Falling down towards sleep
Gotta get a little feeling out there
Gotta get in deep
(Second time only)
Before she goes to sleep, to dream about guitars
Protecting her from intrusive things
I know I really shouldn't trust her
She's looked at all my dreams
Now she's hiding out in the distance somewhere
Falling down towards sleep
Gotta get a little feeling out there
Gotta get in deep
(Second time only)
Before she goes to sleep, to dream about guitars
One of the sisters is a flight assistant
One of them is a plane
One of them is a typhoon
Never going back again
One of their mothers was a mother lode
One of them was a mermaid
One of them was a long gone woman
Do you think that's funny?
Now she's hiding out in the distance somewhere
Falling down towards sleep
Gotta get a little feeling out there
Gotta get in deep
(Second time only)
Before she goes to sleep, to dream about guitars
Towards Sleep

It remains a staple for fans of the genre, reflecting the band's influence on alternative rock and their reputation for creating immersive sonic landscapes that prioritize mood and melody over conventional song structures.
