There's a shadow on the terrace
A snow dance for the living
There's heavy weather on the way
I heard it on the news.
And life's a tough principal
Who won't reward the losers
Your name is on the tea — cup
There's nothing I can do.
But to wish you'd think about me
Before you go to sleep
And I wish you the best there is
Before you go to sleep.
There are tears without the colour
A million seas with water
An ocean full of people
Where shattered hearts can go.
And love's a golden ripple where answers are so simple
But the explanations are very hard to do.
And I wish you'd think about me
Before you go to sleep
And I wish you the best there is
Before you go to sleep
Go to sleep.
