Let Me Sleep Beside You (BBC Radio Session D.L.T. Show) - David Bowie
Written by:David Bowie
Baby baby brush the dust of youth from off your
Shoulder
Now the years of fretting days is right behind you
Don't return to fields of green where rainbow secrets were told
Place your ragged doll with all the toys and things
And deeds
I will show you game where the winner never wins
Let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you
Lock away the childhood and throw away the key
For now the streets and city sounds will burn your
Eyes as coals
We shall drink the oldest wine and velvet skies will
Linger
Child you're a woman now your heart and soul are
Free
I will boldly light that lamp and we shall walk
Together
Let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you
Your darkened eyes throw mystery
But your lips are void of history
You could not imagine that it could happen this way
Could you
I will sow you gaims way the when I another wel
Let your hair hang down
Wel I the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you
