Lyrics
The evening hangs beneath the moon
The evening atmosphere is present beneath the moon.
A silver thread on darkened dune
A delicate silver thread is visible on the darkened sand dunes.
With closing eyes and resting head
With closed eyes and a resting head, the speaker senses the approach of sleep.
I know that sleep is coming soon.
Confidently acknowledging that sleep is imminent.
Upon my pillow, safe in bed,
On the pillow, within the safety of the bed, the speaker begins to experience a flood of mental images.
A thousand pictures fill my head
Countless pictures or thoughts fill the speaker's mind.
I cannot sleep, my mind's a-flight
Despite the mental activity, the speaker struggles to fall asleep as their mind is active and restless.
And yet my limbs seem made of lead.
Despite the mental restlessness, the speaker's body feels heavy and immobile, like it's made of lead.
If there are noises in the night
If there are disturbances or sounds during the night,
A frightening shadow, flickering light
including frightening shadows or flickering lights,
Then I surrender unto sleep
The speaker willingly yields to the embrace of sleep.
Where clouds of dream give second sight,
Entering the realm of sleep where dreams provide a second form of perception or insight.
What dreams may come
Exploring the potential dreams that may unfold during sleep,
both dark and deep
acknowledging that these dreams can be both dark and profound,
Of flying wings and soaring leap
Involving imagery of flying wings and soaring leaps,
As I surrender unto sleep
The speaker fully surrenders to the state of sleep.
As I surrender unto sleep.
Reiterating the surrender to the peaceful embrace of sleep.
