Peaceful Waking

Continental Drifters


I wish you love
And all the peace you can find in your heart
And now I wish you strength
And all my courage when you're weepin' in the dark.

Tender sleep
Soft understanding and peaceful waking.

And when your heart is cold
I will wrap you in the blanket of my soul
And when it's all too much
You always know you got somewhere to go.

Tender sleep
Soft understanding and peaceful waking.

And I can't stand here
And I can't take this
And I can't make this alone
'Cause I can't see you
And I can't feel you
And I can't let you go.

Oh, I gotta let you go.

Tender sleep
Soft understanding and peaceful waking.

So travel your road
And never will I be by your side
But I'll be right here
Wild horses couldn't move me if they tried

Tender sleep
Soft understanding and peaceful waking.

'Cause I can't stand here
And I can't take this
And I can't make this alone
'Cause I can't see you
And I can't feel you
And I can't let you go.

Oh oh oh oh
I can't let you go
Can't let you go
Can't let you go
I can't let you go
Can't let you go.

Oh oh oh oh
I can't let you go
I won't let you go
Can't let you go
Let you go
Can't let you go.
