Intro: Sleep you little soldier boy With your ear against the wall You have held that rifle all of your life Now it's time to let it fall Sleep you little alibi With your reasons in a row You have turned in circles all of your life Just so your shadow wouldn't show Dream with me, dream with me We'll wake in better days And we'll build a boat and we'll hope that it floats We will sail, we'll sail away And now, sleep you little résumé With your head above the crowd You have held your breath in all of your life Just to make somebody proud Oh now, sleep you little reservoir Let your banks just over-flow No, you can't contain all of that rain You're gonna have to let it go Dream with me, dream with me We'll wake in better light And until we rise with open eyes Goodnight, my love, goodnight Yes, until some sun wakes everyone Goodnight, my love, goodnight Goodnight
