Sleep Still
Ari Mason
We're not self-indulgent, we're not weak
We're just playing tricks on time in the long summer heat
You are my flower drenched in the rain
Guardian angel, you ease my pain
In my safety you mumble your thoughts
Through the dark blue we feel the pull of the stars
No filters allowed, say what you want and more
You draw on the page, I write on the floor
Stay, please don't go
I never say it but you know
It feels too soon for us to depart
Sleep still, my dear
We will walk again tomorrow
Sleep still, love
We will be dancing soon
Searching for my catharsis with you
You intersected my lines with the narrative you drew
I'd spend forever looking at your grayish-blue
Practicing the eyes we make at each other
Nostalgia sinks in, I am lost in you
The Sun plays a halo on your golden curls
For a moment, our secret world is still
Wildflowers on our path
Flying cotton in the air
My fingers tangle in your hair
Your laugh is electric, dark and blue
More than anything I want to be close to you
Stay, please don't go
I never say it but you know
It feels too soon for us to depart
Sleep still, my dear
We will walk again tomorrow
Sleep still, love
We will be dancing soon
Searching for my catharsis with you
You intersected my lines with the narrative you drew
I'd spend forever looking at your grayish-blue
Stay, please don't go
I never say it but you know
It feels too soon for us to depart
Sleep still, my dear
We will walk again tomorrow
Sleep still, love
We will be dancing soon
Searching for my catharsis with you
You intersected my lines with the narrative you drew
I'd spend forever looking at your grayish-blue
