Now just let me sleep
I don't want to talk
I have nothing nice to say
I'm just sleeping in your hand

Don't wake me up too soon!
I don't want to see the world
I need to be no-one
All I want is just to be

We can be so strange
We can be so wild
Even when we love
Even when we lie

Here be conscious of my love, please be
Be conscious of my love

Would you please just let me float?
Nothing matters less than time
My thoughts are so remote
But your hand is open wide
(It's there for me)

We can be so strange
We can be so wild
Even when we love
Even when we lie

We can be so strange
We can be so wild
Even when we touch
Even when we die

I am
(Sleeping in your hand)
I am
(Sleeping in your hand)
I am
(Sleeping in your hand)
I am
(Sleeping in your hand)

I'm sleeping in your hand
(sleeping in your hand)
Sleeping in your hand
(sleeping in your hand)
In your hand
(sleeping in your hand)

(Sleeping in your hand)
(Sleeping in your hand)
(Sleeping in your hand)
(Sleeping in your hand)

You'll be conscious of my love, please be
Be conscious of my love
