[Verse 1]
You’re tracing raindrops on the window
Bare feet tucked under my knee
You laugh at jokes I haven’t told yet
Like you’re reading ahead of me
Street signs blur into soft halos
But there’s a crown above your head
Shining just behind your shadow
Only I can see it
[Chorus]
Sleep, my hidden angel
In your borrowed skin
I know where you came from
I know where you’ve been
Close those bright horizons
Let this world turn cheap
I’ll keep watch for both of us
You just fall, fall, fall into sleep
(yeah, sleep)
You just fall, fall, fall into sleep
[Verse 2]
You say this city feels like exile
But you hold it in your hands
Featherlight over my heartbeat
Like you’re measuring the land
You hum a tune in some old language
Underneath your human breath
Little tremor in your fingers
Like you almost glow to death
[Chorus]
Sleep, my hidden angel
In your borrowed skin
I know where you came from
I know where you’ve been
Close those bright horizons
Let this world turn cheap
I’ll keep watch for both of us
You just fall, fall, fall into sleep
(oh, my angel)
You just fall, fall, fall into sleep
[Bridge]
If the sky comes calling
Let it wait till morning
If the stars get jealous
Let them stare through the blinds
Lay your weight upon me
Heavy wings, soft body
You’re the only miracle
This tired earth can hide
[Chorus]
Sleep, my hidden angel
In your borrowed skin
I know where you came from
I know where you’ve been
Close those bright horizons
Let this world turn deep
I’ll keep watch for both of us
You just fall, fall, fall into sleep
(my angel, sleep)
You just fall, fall, fall into sleep
