Sleeping Child
Bonnie Pink · Complete Best Of [2006]
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
