The Sleeper Lyrics

On calm black waves she rides
Where the stars they always sleep
She lies on her long veils
Floating through the endless deep

And all alone she sails
As the silent river flows
She dreams of lonely worlds
As the breezes come and go

As the breezes come and go
And still she sleeps

She passes through a land
Filled with sadness, filled with tears
She's sleeping through it all
As she's dreaming of the years

That came before the pain
And her getle fall from grace
The river flowers wilt
As the tears stream down her face

And I am a hollow man
See my soul its torn apart
And I need to understand
How this sadness stole her heart
I am a hollow man
See my world its torn apart
And I need to understand
How this sadness stole her heart

What came before the pain?
And her gentle fall from grace
The river flowers wilt
As the tears stream down her face

And still she sleeps
Sweet dreams my love
