Lyrics
Sleep Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sure a lot smaller every day.
Wonder why we feel this way
You don't know that I've got nothing left to say
I've been blown across the water like a ship ain't got no sail
That ain't no way to feel
I feel that longing loud and clear.
Dead end streets and I lay here
When your flying you've got nothing left to fear
I've been blown across the water like a ship ain't got no sail
That ain't no way to feel
Winter wind keeps blowing through the trees
But life keeps breathing gaily as you please
Hey now silver birches lying by the road
Branches lined against the winter snow
We left the shelter yesterday.
After we had played all day
You can find that I've got nothing left to say
'Less your blowing cross the water like a ship ain't got no sail
That ain't not way to feel
'Less your blowing cross the water like a ship ain't got no sail
That ain't no way to feel
