Dm         B 
Sleep baby sleep 
        A      
I don't mind if you leave; 
        Dm          B       A 
We will part in our dreams, let them come. 
     Dm          B 
I'll give you my skin 
        A 
But you can't have within; 
        Dm           B 
Hold me tight as you like. 
       A                         Dm 
I will leave you when the day is done. 

Dm            B 
Wake with the dawn 
         A 
Discover needles in my neck. 
         Dm              B       A 
Sleep it bade me turn my back on you. 
Dm              B 
I'll watch your chest 
      A 
As it rises with each breath 
              Dm                B 
But you still breathe beneath a river 
          A          Dm B A 
that I'll never even wade through. 

Dm           B 
Give me your cup and 
A 
I'll give you mine. 
         Dm                 B 
But I'll prise it from your fingers 
      A 
in surrender to the night. 
          Dm       B 
The moon is bright 
           A 
And hangs alone. 
                   Dm   B                       A 
Yeah, he's got the stars, but they've got their own 

Solar systems. 


And I really haven't figured out this part yet: 


And I watch as he wards off the dark. 
With the gift that the sun gave him. 
And I learn from the moon what we are; 
All alone. 
But alone in a sea of lonely stars. 

So go baby glow.
