I've Been Asleep For A Long, Long Time

I've been asleep for a long, long time

Blonde hair to brown and brown to white

My ma is buried beside my dad

But I was asleep for all of that

I shut my eyes for a moment's rest

'Cause I get so tired

What thing transpired while my body slept?

To beset my mind

All the schools that we went to have all been closed

And all of my teachers are dead I suppose

The songs that we sung have all gone quiet

What happens below as we sleep at night?

And  I shut my eyes for a moment's rest

'Cause I get so tired

What things transpired while my body slept?

Beset my mind

The river's up, the reeds are caught

Halfway across what never was

The water rose and swept in slow

When the reeds awoke, they were half below

And I've been asleep for a long, long time

(I shut my eyes) For a moment's rest

Blonde hair to brown and brown to white

('Cause I get so tired)

My ma is buried beside my dad

(What things transpired) While my body slept?

And I was asleep for all the that

(Beset my mind)

And I've been asleep for a long, long time

(I shut my eyes) For a moment's rest

Blonde hair to brown and brown to white

('Cause I get so tired)

And my ma is buried beside my dad

(What thing transpired) While my body slept?

And I was asleep for all of that

(Beset my mind)

For all of that (For all of that)

For all of that (For all of that)

For all of that (For all of that)

For all of that (For all of that)
