To take you in is t feel a great sadness,nIs t hold a great hope, heavy in my chest.nTo let you go, is to lose my balance,nIs to fall into silence and wait wait wait.nnOh sleeper, my keeper of daysnWe can't get back the spring once it's passed.nnWhen love was born in colder times, our vows in ice andnSteel,nnOh sleeper, you kissed me for luck.nBut did you know me from the morning.nnOh sleeper, my keeper of daysnWe can't get back the spring once it's passednnTo take you in is to feel a great sadness,nIs to hold a great hope...nSo I'll make you a bed in a barren fieldnCause we can't get back the spring once it's passed
