lyrics

Sing Me To Sleep

Well the roof it leaks

And the stairs they creak

When no one else is around

And yesterday, I was on my way

Now my cars broken down

Guess I'll have to stick around for now

And the sun's come and gone

without showing it's face

Another day gone

Night shows its face

And I have no clue

What else is new?

I'm just taking up space

An old dog who’s given up the chase

And I have no doubt

That the stars came out

I just couldn't see them for all of the gray

But if on of them did fall

I hope it heard my call

And will send an extra wish my way

Lord knows I could use the break

Cause I've grown so tired

My dreams aren't on fire

There ashes in my mouth

And all my old questions

They seem so much less then important,

To me now

The coals have gone out

So won't you, Sing me to sleep

Like I was a little child

Sing me to sleep

I just want to close my eyes

Sing me to sleep

Tell me it's gonna be all right

Won't you sing me to sleep?

Lay right here by my side

Oh and sing me one last sweet lullaby

So won't you

Sing me to sleep

Like I was a little child

Sing me to sleep

I just want to close my eyes

Sing me to sleep

Tell me it's gonna be all right

Won't you sing me to sleep?

Lay right here by my side

Oh and sing me one last sweet lullaby.
