Lyrics
Sleep baby sleep
Encouragement to sleep, possibly addressing someone affectionately.
What are you waiting for?
Asking why hesitation exists.
The morning's on its way
Implying that morning, a new beginning, is approaching.
You know it's only just a dream
Highlighting the transient nature of the current situation.
Oh sleep baby sleep
Reiteration of the encouragement to sleep.
I lie next to you
Indicates physical proximity.
The beauty of this mess is that it brings me close to you
Emphasizing the positive aspect of closeness despite difficulties.
I could be the one to give you all that I am
Expresses willingness to give everything in a relationship.
With a gentle touch and a foolish love
Describes affectionate actions and naive love.
You could be the one to carry all my troubles away
Suggests reliance on the partner to alleviate burdens.
With the words you say, all I need to hear so
Stressing the importance of hearing reassuring words.
Sleep baby sleep
Reiteration of the encouragement to sleep.
What are you waiting for?
Repeating the query about hesitation.
The morning's on its way
Reaffirmation of the approaching morning.
You know it's only just a dream
Reiterating the transient nature of the situation as a dream.
Oh sleep baby sleep
Reiteration of the encouragement to sleep.
I lie next to you
Indicates physical proximity.
The beauty of this mess is that it brings me close to you
Highlighting the positive aspect of closeness despite difficulties.
Ignorance is torture but your love is right
Suggests that ignorance causes suffering while love brings joy.
Tip to tip a gentleman of the night
Metaphorical description possibly indicating intimacy.
Feed my fascination a way our skin likes silk
Compares the texture of skin to silk, signifying smoothness.
And I'm still filled with wonder you could fool me easily so
Admiration despite the possibility of being deceived.
Sleep baby sleep
Reiteration of the encouragement to sleep.
What are you waiting for?
Repeating the query about hesitation.
The morning's on its way
Reaffirmation of the approaching morning.
You know it's only just a dream
Reiterating the transient nature of the situation as a dream.
Oh sleep baby sleep
Reiteration of the encouragement to sleep.
I lie next to you
Indicates physical proximity.
The beauty of this mess is that it brings me close to you
Highlighting the positive aspect of closeness despite difficulties.
So lay here and press up next to me
Encouraging physical closeness and reassurance of safety.
'Cause we'll be alright, we'll be alright
Assurance that things will be fine despite challenges.
But when we leave I know it's hard
Recognizing the difficulty of leaving a familiar situation.
'Cause it's all we know but we'll be alright, we'll be alright, right
Reassurance amidst the discomfort of change.
Sleep baby sleep
