To take you in is t feel a great sadness
Is t hold a great hope, heavy in my chest
To let you go, is to lose my balance
Is to fall into silence and wait wait wait

Oh sleeper, my keeper of days
We can't get back the spring once it's passed

When love was born in colder times, our vows in ice and
Steel

Oh sleeper, you kissed me for luck
But did you know me from the morning

Oh sleeper, my keeper of days
We can't get back the spring once it's passed

To take you in is to feel a great sadness
Is to hold a great hope...
So I'll make you a bed in a barren field
Cause we can't get back the spring once it's passed
