Sleep Well Angel

I can't sleep these days

You said the stars look like a graveyard

And the moon feels like a grave

What if He came? What if He came for me?

What if 'close enough's not close enough

And He's burning family trees?"

The Earth's on fire in your dreams

For miles, as far as you can see

I offered shelter from the flames and you said to me:

'Not much has changed, my hands still shake

My hair still grays when I hear her name'.

I tucked you in and swore to you that I'd keep you safe.

So sleep well. Sleep well, angel.

Sleep well. Sleep well, angel.

I'm gonna hold your hand 'til it's over

We're gonna make it through tonight

You said the devil sits beside you

Well then, sweetheart, so do I.

I'm gonna hold your hand 'til it's over

We're gonna make it through tonight

And if the devil's still beside you

Then, sweetheart, so am I.

And in the middle of the night they stole your light

They took the dawn from emerald eyes

Come 4 AM, youth fades away without goodbyes.

And not much has changed, your hands still shake

Your hair still grays when you hear her name

I’m waking every morning hoping maybe you're okay.

So sleep well. Sleep well, angel.

Sleep well. Sleep well, angel.

I'm gonna hold your hand 'til it's over

We're gonna make it through tonight

You said the devil sits beside you

Well then, sweetheart, so do I.

I'm gonna hold your hand 'til it's over

We're gonna make it through tonight

And if the devil's still beside you

Then, sweetheart, so am I.

So sleep well. Sleep well, angel.

Sleep well. Sleep well, angel.

I'm gonna hold your hand 'til it's over

We're gonna make it through tonight

You said the devil sits beside you

Well then, sweetheart, so do I.

I'm gonna hold your hand 'til it's over

We're gonna make it through tonight

And if the devil's still beside you

Then, sweetheart, so am I.
