Sleep Lyrics - Breakdown - Melissa Etheridge

After your laughter like thunder 

After your skin like coffee and cream 

After it takes our bodies into the night 

After we've come to the extreme 

I want to lay down on your shoulder 

Just inside your arm 

I want to listen to your heart beat 

And your breathing on and on 

I want to lay down on your shoulder 

Surrender to your peace 

And go to sleep

And when we've gone a million miles 

Made true our dreams with sweat and bone 

After we've built it up with our bare hands 

Made strong a place we can call home 

And when the light in my eye is fading 

When running water becomes too deep 

Finally angels turn my fire to dust 

And when my soul's no longer mine to keep

I want to lay down on your shoulder 

Just inside your arm 

I want to listen to your heartbeat 

And your breathing on and on 

I want to lay down on your shoulder 

Surrender to the peace 

And just go to sleep
