Close your eyes, and I will be swimming.
Lullaby's fill your room, and I will be singing.
Singing to only you.
Don't forget I'll hold your head.
Watch the night sky fading red.

But as you sleep, and no one is listening.
I will lift you off your feet,
I'll keep you from sinking.
Don't you wake up yet,
cause soon I'll be leaving you.
Soon I'll be leaving you,
but you won't be leaving me.

In the car, the radio leaves me
searching for your star.
A constellation of frustration driving home.
Singing my thoughts back to me,
and watching heartache on TV.

But as you sleep, and no one is listening.
I will lift you off your feet,
I'll keep you from sinking.
Don't you wake up yet,
cause soon I'll be leaving you,
soon I'll be leaving you.
But you won't be leaving me.

Don't forget I'll hold your head,
watch the night sky fading red.

But as you sleep, and no one is listening.
I will lift you off your feet,
I'll keep you from sinking.
Don't you wake up yet,
cause soon I'll be leaving you.
Soon I'll be leaving you,
but you won't be leaving me.
