Let Me Sleep Beside You [Bowie]

Dood'n, dood'n, dood'n, dood'n, dum, dum
Dood'n, dum

Baby, baby, brush the dust of youth from off your shoulder
Because the years of threading daisies lie behind you now
Don't return to fields of green where rainbow secrets were told
Place your ragged doll with all the toys, and things, and deeds
I will show you games where the winner never wins

Let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you

Dood'n, dood'n, dood'n, dood'n, dum, dum
Dood'n, dum

Lock away your childhood and throw away the key
For now the streets and city sounds will burn your eyes as coals
We shall drink the oldest wine and velvet skies will linger
Child, you're a woman now, your heart and soul are free
I will boldly light a lamp and we shall walk together

Let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you

Dood'n, dood'n, dood'n, dood'n, dum, dum
Dood'n, dum

Your darkened eyes throw mystery
But your lips are void of history
You could not imagine that it could happen this way, could you?

I will give you dreams and I'll tell you things you'd like to hear

Let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you

Dood'n, dood'n, dood'n, dood'n, dum, dum
Dood'n, dum

Let me sleep beside you
