[Verse 1]
Rest your weary eyes
Beginning your endless sleep
On angel wings
You'll rise and rise
Lids are so heavy now
Don't be afraid, don't shed a tear
I'll see you in your dreams
[Chorus]
If you should die before you wake
I'll keep your soul in the palm of my hand
Slipping away into the clouds
[Verse 2]
You're falling and falling asleep
You'll never wake again
Don't worry
Just rest your head and sleep
What's done is done
The past will be buried in your dreams
[Verse 3]
Golden wings, freaky things
It's not just in your head now
Pray with me on your knees
Pray with me to be free
The rusty Gates of Heaven, they are kept shut for you
Stay with me peacefully, eternity
[Chorus]
And if you should die before you wake
I'll keep your soul in the palm of my hand
