Kate she paints her hands
Dreams of Japan
Thinks of flowers & snow
She gets to go away from her home
Away from this dreadful town
Her parents say she's not home enough
She knows they're not in love
She paints her pictures of flowers

Sleep
Go to sleep
Just close your eyes
And fall away
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Just close your eyes
And fall away
Go to

Kate she's in a strings band
She's made brand new friends
She's the queen of it all
They just don't understand
It's out of her hands
It's out of her mind
Her parents say she's not at home enough
She ignores they're not in love
She can't explain enough
She's tired

Sleep
Go to sleep
Just close your eyes
And fall away
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Just close your eyes
And fall away
Go to sleep

And she's not sure she could ever be
All the things that they need her to be
No & she's not sure she could call on us
Cause if she tried she might not get to sleep tonight

And I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
No, I can't wait for
Sleep
Just close your eyes
And fall away
Go to sleep
