Sleeper lyrics

To take you in Is to feel a great sadness Is to hold a great hope Heavy in my chest To let you go Is to lose my balance Is to fall into silence Is to wait, wait, wait Oh sleeper, my keeper of days We can't get back the Spring Once it's passed For I was born In a colder time And we made our vows in ice And steel Oh sleeper, you kissed me for luck Did you know we found The morning Oh sleeper, my keeper of days We can't get back the Spring Once it's passed To take you in Is to feel a great sadness Is to hold a great hope So I'll make you a bed In a bed in fields 'Cause we can't get back the Spring Once it's passed
