Let Me Sleep Beside You (Stereo Mix) - David Bowie

Written by：David Bowie

Baby baby brush the dust of youth from off your shoulder

Because the years of fretting days is right behind you now

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 give you dreams and I'll tell you things you'll like to hear

Let your hair hang down

Wear the dress your mother wore

Let me sleep beside you

Let me sleep beside you
