[Chorus]
He sleeps alone
He needs no army where he's headed 'cause he knows
That they're just ghosts
And they can't hurt him if he can't see them
And I may go to places I have never been to, just to find
The deepest desires in my mind
[Instrumental Break]
[Post-Chorus]
He sleeps alone
[Verse 1]
Asleep
Is it so hard not to believe?
That we'll never know
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, hold hold hold
Hold me close
I've never been this far from home
Hold hold hold me close
[Chorus]
He sleeps alone
He needs no army where he's headed 'cause he knows
That they're just ghosts
And they can't hurt him if he can't see them
And I may go to places I have never been to, just to find
The deepest desires in my mind
[Bridge]
It's in my head and I have said
That I must be like him now
He sleeps alone, he sleeps alone
And one last chance to make sense
Of what is long escaped ours
He sleeps alone, I sleep alone
[Instrumental Break]
Post-Chorus]
He sleeps alone
He sleeps alone
He sleeps alone
He needs no army where he's headed 'cause he knows
That they're just ghosts
And they can't hurt him if he can't see them
And I may go to places I have never been to, just to find
The deepest desires in my mind
[Instrumental Break]
[Post-Chorus]
He sleeps alone
[Verse 1]
Asleep
Is it so hard not to believe?
That we'll never know
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, hold hold hold
Hold me close
I've never been this far from home
Hold hold hold me close
[Chorus]
He sleeps alone
He needs no army where he's headed 'cause he knows
That they're just ghosts
And they can't hurt him if he can't see them
And I may go to places I have never been to, just to find
The deepest desires in my mind
[Bridge]
It's in my head and I have said
That I must be like him now
He sleeps alone, he sleeps alone
And one last chance to make sense
Of what is long escaped ours
He sleeps alone, I sleep alone
[Instrumental Break]
Post-Chorus]
He sleeps alone
He sleeps alone
