Sleep, fair lady, sleep The floor will be good to you No need to wax sorrowful anymore The temple stone is cold on your cheek, but not on your heart At the height of your gloom and despair No beacon of light shall appear No promises shall I give to you Only a contrived sigh I am no pleaser, no compassionate misery So sleep, fair lady, sleep The floor will get you through The moon and the stars will be there instead I am no companion for you The wind( if only it were gentle) Will echo your laments through and through I cannot be there for you
