The Boatman's Call Lyrics - 1997

[ Buy The Boatman's Call ]

Now that mountains of meaningless words
And oceans divide us
And we each have our own set of stars
To comfort and guide us
Come into my sleep
Come into my sleep, oh yeah
Dry your eyes and do not weep
Come into my sleep


Swim to me through the deep blue sea
Upon the scattered stars set sail
Fly to me through this love-lit night
From one thousand miles away
And come into my sleep
Come into my sleep oh yeah
As midnight nears and shadows creep
Come into my sleep


Bind my dreams up in your tangled hair
For i am sick at heart, my dear
Bind my dreams up in your tangled hair
For all the sorrow it will pass, my dear


Take your accusation, your recriminations
And toss them into the ocean blue
Leave your regrets and impossible longings
And scatter them across the sky behind you
And come into my sleep
Come into my sleep
For my soul to comfort and keep
Come into my sleep


For my soul to comfort and keep - my sleep


Come on,
Come on,
Come on,
(repeat and fade)
