Don't wake me mother I know it's only 5pm There's no need to bother me The sun hasn't sunk yet The streets are crowded The air is stiff I'd better stay in my bed You know the daylight is high Scorching my skin So I wait for the night To slowly come in Its beautiful touch You know what I mean I will be waiting And you say Sleep little girl Sleep little girl I am close to you Sleep little girl Your funny curls Will never turn grey Sleep, let all my fairytales Come true as you're awake Father, my father Shut the window close the doors I wanna see no other men My dear father People have invented laws They will condemn me to death According to them Look, some innocent blood Slips through the roof It's spreading about It's flooding the room But I cannot go out I wait for the moon I'm tired of waiting Sleep little girl Sleep little girl I am close to you Sleep little girl Your funny curls Will never turn grey Sleep, this cynical world Will fade as you're awake
