Is this the sound of breaking glass

As it falls from heaven

Is this the sound of the angels' wings

As we are forgiven

Is this the hope that died inside

Of those who could not take this road

And gently tiptoed home

To sleep a thousand years

Sleep, that is all we have tonight, forever

Hush baby don't you cry in your sleep

And I've been carrying this heavy burden for ever now

but I would go on forever if your hand is out to me

Is this the sound of a tired soul who's hung his hopes on the wall

And watches as the clouds tumble round

Desperate to fall

And I wait in this garden, until the rain begins to soak

But you never came back to me, and then I woke

Sleep, am I ever going to sleep

No, no

Hush, baby don't you cry, it's just sleep

And I've been walking in my sleep

But no matter what I touch, it seems that I can't keep
