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
