Sleep Like a Baby Tonight lyrics

Morning, your toast, your tea and sugar,

Read about the politician’s lover

Go through the day like knife through butter

Why don’t you

You dress in the colours of forgiveness

Your eyes as red as Christmas

Purple robes are folded on the kitchen chair

You’re gonna sleep like a baby tonight

In your dreams, everything is alright

Tomorrow dawns like someone else’s suicide

You’re gonna sleep like a baby tonight

Dreams,

It’s a dirty business, dreaming

Where there is silence and not screaming

Where there’s no daylight, there’s no healing

You’re gonna sleep like a baby tonight

In your dreams, everything is alright

Tomorrow dawns like a suicide

But you’re gonna sleep like a baby tonight

Hope is where the door is

When the church is where the war is

Where no one can feel no one else’s pain

You’re gonna sleep like a baby tonight

In your dreams, everything is alright

Tomorrow dawns like a suicide

But you’re gonna sleep like a baby tonight

Sleep like a baby tonight

Like a bird, your dreams take flight

Like St Francis covered in light

You’re gonna sleep like a baby tonight
