Lay Your Sleeping Head, My Love - Madeleine Peyroux (瑪黛琳·蓓荷)

Written by:Madeleine Peyroux

Lay your sleeping head my love

 

Human on my faithless arm

 

Time and fevers burn away

 

Beauty from

Thoughtful children and the grave

Proves the child ephemeral

 

But in my arms till break of day

 

Let the living creature lie

 

Mortal guilty but to me

The entirely beautiful

 

Certainty fidelity

 

On the stroke of midnight pass

 

Like vibrations of a bell

 

And fashionable madmen raise

Their pedantic boring cry

 

Every farthing of the cost

All the dreaded cards foretell

 

Shall be paid but from this night

 

Not a whisper not a thought

 

Not a kiss nor look be lost

 

Beauty midnight vision dies

 

Let the winds of dawn that blow

 

Softly round your dreaming head

 

Such a day of sweetness show

 

Eye and knocking heart may bless

 

Find the mortal world enough

 

Noons of dryness see you fed

 

By the involuntary powers

 

Nights of insult let you pass

 

 

Watched by every human love
