Before I Sleep
Lyricist:Joy Williams, Paul Moak & Tom Douglas
[Verse 1] Oh, ghosts keep whispering Oh, the feather of a raven's wing turned white by the birch tree Ooh, this chill, when it gonna leave my bones? Take the ache so I can go And be washed in the wilderness
[Pre-Chorus] Oh, carry my body 'cross the frozen ground While the moon burns bright and the fire fades out
[Chorus] I got miles and miles to go before I sleep Before I can feel anything, before I'm free I got miles and miles to go before I sleep
[Verse 2] Wind blows, covers every single track If I wanted to, I couldn't go back Oh, I just keep stumbling Oh, and it's a stinging kiss facing unforgiving winds Feel the cold, it's creeping in, oh And I just keep stumbling on
[Pre-Chorus] Oh, carry my body 'cross the frozen ground While the moon burns
[Chorus] I got miles and miles to go before I sleep Before I can feel anything, before I'm free I got miles and miles and miles
[Bridge] Til the dark gives way to dawn Til the winter, can't hold on I'll crawl tonight, can't walk til I run
[Chorus] I've got miles and miles to go before I sleep And I've got miles and miles to go before I weep Before I can dream or feel anything I got miles and miles to go before I sleep Oh, before I can feel anything, before I'm free I got miles and miles to go before I sleep Before I sleep
