The lights go down all over the world or,
just in your head as you close your eyes,
as arms wrap around you to sail you to bed,
like ships in a harbour sleeping tonight.
So sweet, so kind,
so calm, so afraid.
rest your head on a pillow tonight.
So sweet, so kind,
so calm, so afraid.
Let the pain ease away with the light.
Dancing and pleasure can die with the day,
I've no more time for that revelry,
I want to sleep like the dead in the grave,
with your body warm beside me.
I feel so calm, so tired,
I ache for a kiss goodnight.
I feel so tense, I feel so fragile,
whisper to me and I'll know I'm alright.
Chaos and madness, and things that you fear,
all the nightmares that shatter your calm,
I'll chase every ghost from your head,
put yourself in my bed for your pleasure tonight.
Bitter-sweet symphony, the noises you make,
so dishevelled but perfect to me,
I don't care what the world might say,
you're beautiful through your agony.
