Here’s another song i’ve written just tonight. It’s a song about love and loss and faith and doubt and the whole complicated mess.
Let me sleep with untroubled dreams
Scratch the scab to find the blood
Watch the man go up in flames
Life is short and we all must die
Why did you not say goodbye?
The gin I had to drink last night
Could not take away your face
They came for me with unblinking eyes
But I had no alibi
And so I went away with them
Never to return again
Lay me down in lavender and green
Let me sleep with untroubled dreams
Scratch the scab to find the blood
Watch the man go up in flames
It is no secret that my faith has doubt
Still I believe though the light’s gone out
I will wrestle through the night
Break my leg and send me on
Grant me mercy by your word
Let me rest in peace, dear Lord
To the bitter end, that is my oath
But I’m just so fucking tired
Lay me down in lavender and green
Let me sleep with untroubled dreams
Scratch the scab to find the blood
Watch the man go up in flames
