David Bowie - Let Me Sleep Beside You (2001 Re-Recording) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Baby, baby, brush the dust of youth from off your shoulder
Because the years of fretting days is right behind you
Don't return to the fields of green where rainbow secrets were told
Place your ragged doll with all the toys and things and deeds

[Pre-Chorus]
I will show you a game where the winner never wins

[Chorus]
Let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you

[Verse 2]
Lock away your childhood and throw away the key
For now the streets and city sounds will burn your eyes as coals
We shall drink the oldest wine, velvet skies will linger
Child, you're a woman, your heart and soul are free

[Pre-Chorus]
I will hold a lighted lamp and we shall walk together

[Chorus]
Let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you

[Bridge]
Your darkened eyes throw mystery
But your lips are void of history
You could not imagine that it could happen this way, could you

[Pre-Chorus]
I will give you dreams and I'll tell you things you'd like to hear

[Chorus]
Let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you
I said let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your mother wore
Let me sleep beside you
