The World Won't Sleep
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.
Somewhere too far away from here, in the middle of the sea
You watch the water and you think about me
You know I see the same bright stars, you know what I wish
Do you know that I feel selfish when I ask for it
Cause I wish that you were coming through the door
But I know that when you can another ship will leave the shore
The world won't sleep tonight
The world won't sleep tonight
The world won't sleep tonight 'itl all the sailors can come home
Young men and women grown too fast
Standing guard while life slips past
We eat, we drink not thinking of their loss
They've had to leave somebody too
Who misses them like I'm missing you
I Want to have you here, but what a cost
I wish that you were coming through the door
But I know that when you can another ship will leave the shore
The world won't sleep tonight
The world won't sleep tonight
The world won't sleep tonight 'itl all the sailors can come home
(Somewhere too far away from here, in the middle of the sea
You watch the water and you think about me)
