After your laughter like thunder

After your skin like coffee and cream

After it takes our bodies into the night

After we've come to the extreme

I want to lay down on your shoulder

Just inside your arm

I want to listen to your heart beat

And your breathing on and on

I want to lay down on your shoulder

Surrender to your peace

And go to sleep

And when we've gone a million miles

Made true our dreams with sweat and bone

After we've built it up with our bare hands

Made strong a place we can call home

I want to lay down on your shoulder

Just inside your arm

I want to listen to your heart beat

And your breathing on and on

I want to lay down on your shoulder

Surrender to your peace

And just go to sleep

Sleep - Melissa Etheridge
