after your skin like coffee and cream
after it takes our bodied into the night
after we've come to the extreme
I want to lay down on your shoulder
just inside your arm
I want to listen to your heart beat
your breathing on and on
I want to lay down on your shoulder
surrender to your peace
and go to sleep
After we've gone a million miles
made true our dreams with sweat and bone
after we've built it up with our bare hands
made strong a place we can call home
and when the light in my eye is fading
when running water becomes too deep
finally angels turn my fire to dust
and when my soul's no longer mine to keep
I want to lay down on your shoulder
just inside your arm
I want to listen to your heart beat
and your breathing on and on
I want to lay down on your shoulder
surrender to your peace
and just go to sleep...........
-Melissa Etheridge- Sleep- breakdown.
