Let Me Sleep Beside You — текст песни (David Bowie)

Baby, baby, brush the dust of youth from your shoulder

Because the years of fretting days are right behind you now

Dont return to fields of green where rainbow secrets were told

Place your ragged doll with all the toys and things and deeds

I will show you a game where the winner never wins



Let your hair hang down, wear the dress your mother wore

Let me sleep beside you



Lock away your childhood and throw away the key

For now the streets and city sounds will burn your eyes as coals

We shall drink the oldest wine and velvet skies will linger

Child, youre a woman now, your heart and soul are free

I will boldly light that lamp and we shall walk together



Let your hair hang down, wear the dress your mother wore

Let me sleep beside you



Your darkened eyes throw mystery

But your lips are void of history

You could not imagine that it could happen this way, could you

I will give you dreams and Ill tell you things youll like to hear



Let your hair hang down, wear the dress your mother wore

Let me sleep beside you



Let me sleep beside you
