Sleep No More

from Garden Variations by Cory Fay

/

lyrics

All the Winter is filling your shoes
the clouds take your heaven, the pond takes your the moon

When you're alone with me, I'm alone with you.
Time will break your watch, your bones, your heart so soon.

And now the crows and the flies that die here in the summer
gather 'round the ribbons in your hair you still wear for your mother

You're too old to grow up, so take off your spoiled shoes,
sit besides me and I'll make sure nothing bad ever happens to you.


Sleep no more, everyone knows what you did
somebody's gotta help me dig

Deeper down than ever, god's crooked hands,
man returns to dirt, dirt returns to man.

I only did what needed to be done in the end
Now she's in the garden, she'll grow back happy again

When a seed goes underground it becomes something new,
If everything has to follow your rules you have to follow them too.
