Sleeping Child

Bonnie Pink · Complete Best Of [2006]

Don't take a trip

to anywhere alone

You jumped on a ship,

which is almost drowned

You said you were faking

then do I love your clone?

He has a quick temper

once fired..

He cannot control

He cannot control



I know that you're lying to me

That's why we collide

I know that you're calling

every night in secret

I pretend to be a sleeping child

try to shut my ears to you

He loves a fresh comfort

it's not me

'Cos I'm too dry to give

I'm too dry to give



Sing or just stay

if you cannot sleep

Give me a kiss

to run away from nightmares

I don't like to make sure

if you're next to me

when I wake up with fears

I rather stay in my dream

That's better than losing myself

You'll find me disappeared

You'll find me disappeared



Sleeping child is gone

Sleeping child is gone
