Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was standin' on a wave
Then I made the drop
I was lying in a cave in the solid rock
I was feelin' pretty brave till the lights went off
[Verse 2]
Sleep by no means comes too soon
In a valley lit by the moon
[Verse 3]
We left a little dust on his Persian rug
We gathered up our clothes
Got the washing done
In a long forgotten place, who'll be the first to run?
[Verse 4]
Sleep by no means comes too soon
In a valley lit by the moon, yeah
[Verse 5]
I was floatin' on a wave
Then I made the drop
I was climbin' up the walls waitin' for the band to start
[Verse 6]
You can say the magic words
I got my senses on
And this is the only place that I always run from
Sleep by no means comes too soon
In a valley lit by the moon, oh
