Take a sip, my dear, this tonic brings
about a deeper sleep and brighter dreams,
and in the morning light when you awake
life's song shall sing anew,
and dawn will bring to you
a freedom from your fright, from your mistake,
and yes, the ache that tears from you your soul
shall drift away, and almost leave you whole.

and dawn will bring to you
a freedom from your fright, from your mistake,
and yes, the ache that tears from you your soul
shall drift away, and almost leave you whole.
