Lyrics

The world is released
In the still of the night
From the prison of shape
And the burden of time

All comes to rest
In the sheltering dark
In the rhythm of breath
Deep in the heart

Sweet release, Sweet release

I lay me down
In the velvety night
Away from the glare
Of relentless light

Only in sleep
Can I hear the song
Of what I've forgotten
Of where I belong

Sweet release, Sweet release
Sweet release, Sweet release

And so I surrender
A blessed relief
The spirit is moving
On the face of the deep

The river of dreams
Will carry me home
And when I awake
I'm not alone

Sweet release, Sweet release
Sweet release, Sweet release
