Before You Go to Sleep

There's a shadow on the terrace
A snow dance for the living
There's heavy weather on the way
I heard it on the news

And life's a tough principal
Who won't reward the losers
Your name is on the tea-cup
There's nothing I can do

But to wish you'd think about me
Before you go to sleep
And I wish you the best there is
Before you go to sleep

There are tears without the colour
A million seas of water
An ocean full of people
Where shattered hearts can go

And love's a golden ripple
Where answers are so simple
But the explanations
Are very hard to do

And I wish you'd think about me
Before you go to sleep
And I wish you the best there is
Before you go to sleep

Yes, I wish you all the best
Before you go to sleep

And I wish you'd think about me
Before you go to sleep
And I wish you the best there is
Before you go to sleep
Before you go to sleep
Go to sleep
Baby, go to sleep!
