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.

F D C

But to wish you'd think about me before you go to sleep

A# F

and I wish you the best there is before you go to sleep.

There are tears without the colour,

a million seas without water

an ocean full of people

where shattered hearts can go.

And love's a golden ripple where answers are so simplee

but the explanations are very hard to do.

F D C

And I wish you'd think about me before you go to sleep

A# F

and I wish you the best there is before you go to sleep.

(repeat intro riff until song ends)

Go to sleep.
