How Do You Sleep
How do you sleep in the coldness of the night,
do you tell all the secrets you hide
when everything is out of light
and only pillows are all by your side?
How do you sleep during the rainy night,
do you buried your face deep
to chase away that feeling of fright
having all the faith for keep?
How do you sleep at night,
do you think so much of the past
where the pain is on its hieght
and smiles never ever last?
How do you sleep in the silence of the night,
do you think of me
having all the strength to fight
as you and me becoming free?
