Sleepless 歌词

As you lie before me now, like a shadow On a pea-green sea Never thought that i would find you so hollow Laying into me This cup of wine All salt and brine's made me sleepy Sorrow sows A field of tears, that will never yield a single penny That i don't owe Got nothing to hold on to Wished for gold so i could buy you a palace By the riverside You'd come in and i would fill your diamond chalice You were still alive This cup of wine Of salt and brine's made me sleepy Sorrow sows A field of tears, that will never yield a single penny That i don't owe Got nothing to hold on to I've got nothing to hold on to Were you sleepless, tearing at the air? Was the water everywhere? Were you fretful to wade into the room I'd been wanting to hear from you Oh, no Hand it over Hand it over You're weary, lay him down You did your time, so thank you very much Hand it over Hand it over So now your hopes are all allayed Would you hand it all away? Did his eyelids affix on empty chairs? You had traveled to lay beside A gentle torture to watch it all recede And all the while, your mother slept beside him Oh, no Hand it over Hand it over You're weary, lay him down You did your time, so thank you very much Hand it over Hand it over So now your hopes are all allayed Would you hand it all away? Were you sleepless, tearing at the air? Was the water everywhere? Were you fearful and long to run away From the cold clasp of illinois? Oh, no Oh, no Oh Hand it over Hand it over You're weary, lay him down You did your time, so thank you very much Hand it over Hand it over So now your hopes are all allayed Would you hand it all away? No Would you hand it all away? Oh..
