[Verse 1]
Kindred spirit of candle light
I keep the match by my side
The room holds still when you walk in
Like you know every crack I'm in
My eyelids fall, but I stay awake
Waiting on the shape you make
[Pre-Chorus]
And my thought to my saint
I'm so tired but I faint
Hold the door in the dark
Stay right here where you are
[Chorus]
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight
Deep with me tonight
Don't let the dark get loud
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight
Stay in my chest somehow
Sleep with me tonight
[Verse 2]
The candle bends, then stands back up
Like my heart when you pour enough
I hear your name in the window pane
Soft as rain on a tin roof frame
If I drift, pull me near
Say my name, make it clear
[Pre-Chorus]
And my thought to my saint
I'm so tired but I faint
Hold the door in the dark
Stay right here where you are
[Chorus]
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight
Deep with me tonight
Don't let the dark get loud
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight
Stay in my chest somehow
Sleep with me tonight
[Bridge]
If the morning comes too fast
Let it pass, let it pass
I just need this hour to live
I just need what you give
One warm hand, one steady light
One small vow through the night
[Chorus]
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight
Deep with me tonight
Don't let the dark get loud
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight
Stay in my chest somehow
Sleep with me tonight
