the sleep that never ends

i want to go gentle
into that good night

and sleep the sleep that never ends

old age is not for battles
old age is not for rage
the years have passed
the past is past

the future waves goodbye

i want to go gentle
into that good night

and sleep the sleep that never ends

don't weep for me
don't call my name
i am not here
i cannot hear

the future does not know me

let me go gentle into that dark night
and sleep the sleep that never ends
and dream sweet dreams of my old friends
