Lyrics

Deep Sleep

[Verse 1] Walking backwards into the sea Bodies, Angels, and musical peaks Dreamed up by you and me in our sleep You come walking over pillows and sheets [Verse 2] Walking backwards into the night Caught tight in the sheets Our dreams entangled twisted by our heat You come walking over pillows and sheets It's the coldest part of the night (It's the coldest part of the night)
