Songtexte Sleeping Alone - Mieke

You walk home late
Take off your lipstick
Fall like a leaf between the sheets
Losing skin cells
There are a hundred other beds
Where you could sleep

But let's be honest
There's more we wanted
And you're a free woman
Take it as your own

You can pray for a fire
Wait for a flood
Would that make you worthy
Would it be enough
It seems to me you're already home
Love, there are worse things

Like sleeping alone
Sleeping alone

Oh, your lovely life
Bet on the slow horse
Marry the night
Conscience is not what it kills
They feed on hearts
They feed on pills

But let's be honest
There's more we wanted
And you're a free woman
Take it as your own

You can pray for a fire
Wait for a flood
Would that make you worthy
Would it be enough
It seems to me you're already home
Love, there are worse things

Like sleeping alone
Sleeping alone

You wanted more
Don't give it up
You hold it in your hands
You wanted more
Don't give it up
Don't give it up

You wanted more
Don't give it up
You hold it in your hands
You wanted more
Don't give it up
Don't give it up

Sleeping alone
Sleeping alone

You walk home late
Take off your lipstick
Fall like a leaf between the sheets
Losing skin cells
There are a hundred other beds
Where you could sleep
