[Verse 1]
Little light shining
Little light will guide them to me
My face is all lit up
My face is all lit up
[Chorus 1]
If they find me racing white horses
They'll not take me for a buoy
Let me be weak, let me sleep
And dream of sheep
[Interlude: Sample & Hannah Bush]
"Attention shipping information in sea areas...Bell Rock, Tiree, Cromaty, gale east...Malin, Sellafield…"
"Come here with me now"
[Verse 2]
Ooh, I'll wake up to any sound of engines
Every gull a seeking craft
I can't keep my eyes open
Wish I had my radio
[Chorus 2]
I'd tune into some friendly voices
Talking 'bout stupid things
I can't be left to my imagination
Let me be weak, let me sleep
And dream of sheep
[Outro]
Ooh, their breath is warm
And they smell like sleep
And they say they take me home
Like poppies, heavy with seed
They take me deeper and deeper
Little light shining
Little light will guide them to me
My face is all lit up
My face is all lit up
[Chorus 1]
If they find me racing white horses
They'll not take me for a buoy
Let me be weak, let me sleep
And dream of sheep
[Interlude: Sample & Hannah Bush]

[Verse 2]
Ooh, I'll wake up to any sound of engines

I can't keep my eyes open
Wish I had my radio

I'd tune into some friendly voices

I can't be left to my imagination
Let me be weak, let me sleep
And dream of sheep
[Outro]
Ooh, their breath is warm
And they smell like sleep
And they say they take me home
Like poppies, heavy with seed
They take me deeper and deeper
