Baby, sing me to sleep
Painful memories
When you say that you need me

You save me
From leaving things that I might need
But the missing piece
Is out of my reach

[CHORUS]
But I don't mind
If you can't be with me all of the time
So be on your way
That is not what I wanted to say
I just want you
And I need you to stay

Baby, sing me to sleep
Drunken melodies
When you say that you love me

Well, maybe
I need a guarantee
Cause the way you speak,
You're scaring me

[CHORUS]

And I know, I know
That it won't be long
Til you come running, righting the wrongs
Ignoring the light, to swallow the fright
To make it in time to keep me safe tonight

Baby, sing me to sleep
No apologies
When you say that you love me

[CHORUS]
