Song Lyric Sunday

Posted on September 23, 2018 by pensitivity101

Our theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is sleep.


This is one of my favourite Alison Moyet tracks from the 1984 ‘ALF’ album.

Lyrics from metrolyrics.com

Where hides sleep
Where hides sleep
Where hides sleep

Where hides sleep is she watching me?
Don’t desert me now
Where hides sleep you’re tormenting me
Don’t forsake me now

Take hold of my soul and pull me into darkness
Cover me over and stifle my anguish

Where hides sleep she’s avoiding me
Don’t evade me now
Where hides sleep please don’t torture me
Don’t forsake me now
I open my lips to your warm ancient potion
I would be still and devoid of emotion

For I would be slumber that I could be rest
Curl in warm embers of such peacefulness
Caressed by oblivion and swallowed by dreams

I want you to hold me and cover my eyes
From the cold distant daylight holds no surprise
You could make me forget, you could make me believe
If you’d steal away on us by enemy, by enemy

Where hides sleep is she watching me
Don’t desert me now
Where hides sleep you’re tormenting me
Don’t forsake me now

Take hold of my soul and pull me into darkness
Cover me over and stifle my anguish
I open my lips to your warm ancient potion
I would be still and devoid of emotion

Where hides sleep she’s avoiding me
Don’t evade me now
Where hides sleep please don’t torture me
Don’t forsake me now

Where hides sleep you’re tormenting me
Don’t forsake me now……………………………………….

About pensitivity101

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too. On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts. From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives. We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.
