Sleepless Lullaby

from Landmine by The Post-Timey String Band

/

lyrics

Lover, Oh, lover, lover, lover,
Why don’t you sleep?
Why don’t you sleep?

There are dreams to be had in me.

Why don’t you sleep?
Peaceful and sweet are our memories,
And in them you still hold on to me,
So, lover, lover, lover,
Why don’t you sleep?

Lover, why don’t you sleep?
There are dreams to be had in me.
Why do your restless, red eyes wade and wander
In a past
That you may never leave?

Lover, why does the pain
Seem to come back in your mind again?
What do these sleepless nights enchant you with
That you might not
Move on e’er again?

And how came this awful night
That you appeared, but weren’t there except in sight?
I tried to hold you in my arms,
Too tired to fight
A restless tide.

And where do you think those dark waves will fall?
Where will the night winds blow?
Where will your soul go?
Where will your soul go?
