"Dream while you can" I was saying
As the hurricane approached us from the east
Sleep in your eyes was all the medicine you needed
And your fever decreased

You're a little high
Just a little scared and a little cold
Loosen up those legs at the open sky
Let it all unfold

I wouldn't hold you down
I guess it's not my way
But you refuse to cry
And then you fall behind

"Sleep while you can" I was saying
As the hurricane approached us from the west
Dream if you can
Of all the worlds that open up to you
When you are at rest

You're a little high
Just a little scared and a little cold
Loosen up ... at the open sky
Let it all unfold

I wouldn't hold you down
I guess it's not my way
First you refuse to cry
And then you fall behind

I'd never hold you down
You know it's not my way
First you refused to cry
And then you fall behind
