Figure of divine perfection 
No one's loved with more affection 
Soul to soul we've breathed 
Oh, I won't let The Fates succeed 

Worried hours of contemplation 
Whispered bits of conversation 
Unaffected orderlies 
Disinfected rooms and hallways 

Chorus: And if you sleep, you sleep with God 
And if I cry, it's for my heart 
Why should I hope to make it through? 
'Cause if you sleep, I'll sleep, too 

Jagged thorns and pretty petals 
Butterflies and stinging nettles 
Sunny days and nights of blackness 
But where's the joy to cure my sadness? 

[Chorus]

Gleaming cars and covered faces 
Teary eyes in hallowed places 
Grass and granite stone 
No one's been more all alone 

[Chorus]
