There's a shadow on the terrace

A snow dance for the living

There's heavy weather on the way

I heard it on the news.

And life's a tough principal

who won't reward the losers

Your name is on the tea-cup

There's nothing I can do.

But to wish you'd think about me

before you go to sleep

And I wish you the best there is

before you go to sleep.

There are tears without the colour

A million seas with water

An ocean full of people

where shattered hearts can go.

And love's a golden ripple

where answers are so simple

But the explanations are very hard to do.

And I wish you'd think about me

before you go to sleep

And I wish you the best there is

before you go to sleep

Go to sleep...
