I'm desperate to know how you are.

I will be deep asleep.

I've been awake for days,

Trying to study every inch of your body.



In this picture from a distant day,

When I could safely say nothing in this world could tear me down in anyway.

But like a dream,

You disappear without a sound, without a trace.



(Chorus)

Sleep well, darling.

Wherever you are,

I hope that you're happy tonight.

And maybe you found someone who will love you right.



Sleep well, darling.

I'm desperate to say,

"Now I need you more than ever."

But all I could say was goodnight.



This is for a girl back home.

She tore down all my walls.

Loved me for all she'd known,

But I pushed it all away from me.



And no, no, even if I knew, even if I knew what to say to you,

It's just too late to make you stay.

I'm sick of fighting this broken fate,

But someone else gets to tell you that you're beautiful.



(Chorus)

Sleep well, darling.

Wherever you are,

I hope that you're happy tonight.

And maybe you found someone who will love you right.



Sleep well, darling.

I'm desperate to say,

"Now I need you more than ever."

But all I could say was goodnight.
