Dreamless slumbers, evening falls
     down under, I say I do
I say these words and pray
They've fallen on your ears today
Like none other that you've heard
So wipe away your tears

If I say these words to let go all
     of your sorrow
It's like a cloud vanished away
For better things to start this day
And leave old footprints on sands
In disappearing tides

Lay your head on the ledge of my shoulder 
Under the countless stars that shine
     in all their numbers
Dreamless slumbers dream away

Dreamless slumbers, evening falls
     down under, I say I do
It takes a wind to hurt this way
Cutting 'gainst the chaff and grain
Like none other that you've felt
And like no other will

Lay your head on the ledge of my shoulder
Under the countless stars that shine
     in all their numbers
Dreamless slumbers dream away

Dreamless slumbers, evening falls
     down under, I say I do
I say these words and pray
They've fallen on your ears today
Like none other that you've heard

Dreamless slumbers, evening falls
     down under, I say I do
I say I forgive you
