Sleep While You Can

Talking in the darkness

Wild against the sky

He was prepared to fight but afraid to die

As quiet as a burglar

Creeping up the stairs

Looking for connection, he vowed to never tell

Sleep while you can

I'll make my plans

Sleep while you can

Sleep while you can

Rattle in the cages

Hoping to see the pages

Couldn't make out the faces, but he knew them well

Flower and rose slippers

Just like his younger sisters

Took them years to figure out where they had failed

Sleep while you can

I'll make my plans

Sleep while you can

Sleep while you can

Sleep while you can

Sleep while you can

Sleep while you can

Sleep while you can

Where have all my friends gone?

They've all disappeared

Turned around one day

You're all that was there

Stood by, unbelieving

Stood by on my own

Always thought I was someone

Turned out I was wrong

You brought me through

You made me feel

So blue

Why don't you stay behind?

So blue

Why don't you stop and look at what's going down

Lived by an old woman

She'd never sell me a lie

Best in life with somebody

Who likes to sing with you

Give all of my mercy

Give all of my heart

Never thought that I'd miss you

That I'd miss you so much

You brought me through

You made me feel

So blue

Why don't you stay behind?

So blue

Why don't you stop and see what's going down

So blue

Why don't you stay behind?

So blue

Why don't you stop and look at what's going down
