"Don't Fall Asleep" lyrics
Jacob Alon & Anna Calvi Lyrics
Matthew woke beneath the pool
His laughter rising through the deepest blue
He saw his body torn in two
Placed a hand but it sank straight through
Between the bones and binds
Each vein that contained little rivers of light
An angel took his side
And she knew his pain
Held his heart in her eyes
And to Matthew she cried
"Don't fall asleep
You are precious to me
So stay awake and watch the flowers grow
Green and indigo
And leave some magic left to dream"
As his mind sank like a stone
Matthew traced a life he would've known
Saw his baby boy be born
And just for a moment
He could've sworn the boy heard his song
As he sang
"Don't fall asleep
You are precious to me
So stay awake and watch the flowers grow
Green and indigo
And leave some magic left to dream"
His laughter rising through the deepest blue
He saw his body torn in two
Placed a hand but it sank straight through
Between the bones and binds
Each vein that contained little rivers of light
An angel took his side
And she knew his pain
Held his heart in her eyes
And to Matthew she cried
"Don't fall asleep
You are precious to me
So stay awake and watch the flowers grow
Green and indigo
And leave some magic left to dream"
As his mind sank like a stone
Matthew traced a life he would've known
Saw his baby boy be born
And just for a moment
He could've sworn the boy heard his song
As he sang
"Don't fall asleep
You are precious to me
So stay awake and watch the flowers grow
Green and indigo
And leave some magic left to dream"
