close your eyes and I will be swimming
lullabies 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
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 hard
singing my thoughts back to me
like watching heartache on T.V.
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
