Sweetheart 
The sun has set 
All red and primitive above our heads 
Blood stained on an ageless sky 
Wipe your tears and let the salt stains dry 
Let them all run dry 
All run dry... 
 
Sweetheart 
Take me to bed 
That's where all our prayers are said 
Whispered silent in the night 
That's how all our dreams take flight 
Let them all go by 
All go by... 
 
For time will catch us in both hands 
To blow away like grains of sand 
Ashes to ashes rust to dust 
This is what becomes of us 
 
Sweetheart  
Send me to sleep 
Pray to God our hopes to keep 
Take our fears and make us strong 
Lead us to where we belong 
And let it all go by 
All go by...
