Sleep Lyrics by Savatage

The Wake of Magellan

1993

[Verse 1]
Hey there you
Way out there in the distance
Can you hear me
Are you there
I know it's late
So please forgive my persistence
But I'm hanging
Do you care

[Chorus]
So lay back
Call off the attack
Cause if you look deep
Dreams are nothing that I lack
And all I seek
A final chance to speak
And I would let the whole thing keep
If I could just sleep

[Verse 2]
Hey there you
Way out there, could you show me
Just a signal
Or a sign
That after all
All these years
That you know me
And I'm not just
Killing time

[Chorus]
So lay back
Call off the attack
Cause if you look deep
Dreams are nothing that I lack
And all I seek
A final chance to speak
And I would let the whole thing keep
If I could just sleep

[Bridge]
And as I lay there late at night
Building castles in the air
Out of alibis and all those little lies
And then I look inside
And pray that I don't care
I don't care

[Outro]
I don't care
Hey you there
Way out there in the distance
