lyrics

I wish I had some accolade for staying awake so late
I wish I had some way to make the darkness turn into day

Put your hand on my shoulder and take me to sleep
Put your hands over my eyes and make me sleep

Oh give me light and keep me loved and keep me for yourself
Take my limbs and fold them up I just want to be held

Put your hand on my shoulder and take me to sleep
Put your hands over my eyes and make me sleep

Sometimes I am made of sand a bar out on the bay
Water feels like medicine just wash my mind away

Skies of yellow blue and rose and other variations
Do I like the way I chose of making observations
The sun comes up it gives me light it gives me every color
I managed to live through the night but what about the others?
Skies of yellow blue and rose and other variations
Do I like the way I chose of making observations
The sun comes up it gives me light it gives me all these colors
I managed to live through the night but what about the others?

Put your hands in mine baby and take me to sleep
I need to see your eyes and feel your heat

I wish I had some accolade for staying awake so late
I wish I had some way to make the darkness turn into day
