David Bowie - Let Me Sleep Beside You lyrics

Baby, baby, brush the dust of youth
From off your shoulder
Because the years of fretting days
Is right behind you now
Don't 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, you're a woman now
Your heart and soul are free

I will hold a lighted 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 I'll tell
You things you'd like to hear

Let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you
Let me sleep beside you
