lyrics

rest your bones

your day is done

your gentle soul

on the run

close your eyes

hop skip and jump

on the lam

and over hump

you're never gonna get that far

you're never gonna reach part of your heart

you sweet dream sleeper

you never gonna reach that high

you never gonna see if love’s nearby

you sweet heart keeper

With a heart like a hammer

thump de dum thump thump thump

Chase your dreams

through your nightmares

Mean your words

and say your prayers

You left your mind

go pale and numb

locked your heart

out in cold blood

you never wanna reach that high

you never wanna see if love’s nearby

you sweet heart keeper

you're never gonna get that far

you're never gonna reach part of your heart

my sweet dream sleeper

with a heart like a hammer

thump de dum thump thump thump

dreams aren’t as weak as we are

the mind’s not as weak as the heart

sleep my little sweet among the stars

you're never gonna get that far

you're never gonna reach part of your heart

my sweet dream sleeper

you never wanna reach that high

you never wanna see if love’s nearby

my sweet heart keeper

On the lam and you’re in the dark

you’re never gonna get close to your heart

my sweet dream sleeper

my sweet dream sleeper

with a heart like a hammer

thump de dum thump thump thump
