Profits While You Sleep
Are dreams of me still fading when you wake next to him?
But every pill you're taking won't help you soon forget.
I remember we'd lay among your sheets
In your bed beneath the cedar beams
And we'd watch the shadows as they'd flee
I will think of this no more.
How I couldn't be the one to hold you
How I couldn't give the love that made you weep
But, remember this song that I'll sing for you
And I'll sing it to you while you sleep.
And in the night I'll wander, I'm stumbling through the
dark.
Night watchmen say I'm crazy; I'm just a man apart.
And we'd lie beneath the autumn trees
With your hair that fell like the turning leaves
But our love was never evergreen.
I will speak of this no more.
How I couldn't be the one to hold you
How I couldn't give the love that made you weep
But, remember this song that I'll sing for you
And I'll sing it to you while you sleep.
And when you fear in the night
You can close your eyes and turn your head again
While there's a piece of you crying out for me
You will be falling into him.
How I couldn't be the one to hold you
How I couldn't give the love that made you weep
But, remember this song that I'll sing for you
And I'll sing it to you while you sleep.
