Before I Sleep Lyrics

Oh, ghosts keep whispering
Oh, the feather of a raven's wing turned white by the bird's cheeks
Ooh, this chill, when it gonna leave my bones?
Take the ache so I can go
And be washed in the wilderness

Oh, carry my body 'cross the frozen ground
While the moon burns bright and the fire fades out

I got miles and miles to go before I sleep
Before I can feel anything, before I'm free
I got miles and miles to go before I sleep

Wind blows, covers every single track
If I wanted to, I couldn't go back
Oh, I just keep stumbling
Oh, and it's a sinned kiss facing unforgiving winds
Feel the cold, it's creeping in, oh
And I just keep stumbling on

Oh, carry my body 'cross the frozen ground
While the moon burns

I got miles and miles to go before I sleep
Before I can feel anything, before I'm free
I got miles and miles and miles

Til the dark gives way to dawn
Til the winter, can't hold on
I'll crawl tonight, can't walk til I run

I've got miles and miles to go before I sleep
And I've got miles and miles to go before I weep
Before I can dream or feel anything
I got miles and miles to go before I sleep
Oh, before I can feel anything, before I'm free
I got miles and miles to go before I sleep
Before I sleep

What is the Meaning of Before I Sleep?

Ever felt like you're on a long journey, both physically and emotionally, with no clear end in sight? Joy Williams captures that feeling perfectly here. The song speaks to the struggle of pushing through life's hardships and the relentless pursuit of inner peace and freedom. With imagery of frozen landscapes and unforgiving winds, it paints a picture of someone fighting against all odds to find solace. The repeated line about having "miles to go before I sleep" echoes the idea that true rest—both physical and emotional—is still far away. This is a poignant reminder that sometimes, we have to keep moving forward even when it feels impossible. #JourneyOfLife #InnerPeace #EmotionalStruggle
