the harvest quinn band - sleep sound, cleveland lyrics

Loading...

when this tired town settled down to sleep
and the grinning clock could no longer herd the ambitious sheep
i sat sifting through sands of silent stare, though you said i mustn’t pace
found comfort in those kind shadows, just a silhouette without a face

when the curious light comes crawling through half drawn blinds
realize i’ve been lying wide awake just about half the time
so i beg the jealous day, forget me for a while
tracing myself in other people’s lives
playing promises with piper’s pride
i can pull myself together tomorrow the boys cried

and i took you aside
gave you this advice
you can all sleep sound in cleveland
tonight

could you ever forgive these fragile footsteps
and the helpless patterns they create?

lord, i’m a slave to the serpent’s satin tongue
you can open my eyes but i can’t be saved

from the fire that brings the fevered hush
plant our voices deep inside of me
what do we reap but a few sorrowed lines?
there is no season for a pauper’s deceit
so i won’t reach out my hands

i beg the jealous day, forget me for a while
tracing myself in other people’s lives
playing promises with piper’s pride
i can pull myself together tomorrow the boys cried

and i took you aside
gave you this advice
you can all sleep sound in cleveland
tonight

you can all sleep sound tonight
