Sleep This Night

With hands that join like the hours of time
Holding a past that cannot be forgotten
We march our feet to the rhythms of that past
And carry our muskets like patriots of our own new world

I play my goodbyes on the highway of lines
Directing the traffic to anywhere but home
I drift and sway right off the road
No one turns their heads so I park the car and I

Sleep the night, this night without you
Sleep the night, I’ll still wake up for you

You take your goodbyes with a glass of cold water
And they spread through your body with a jolt of surprise
Nevermind all the words that never quite fit
They hold with them meaning of what you can guess.

Sleep the night, this night without you
Sleep the night, I’ll still wake up for you

In the end the moments that’s fallen is risen with springtime
In the end the lives that are speaking and no one knows

Sleep the night, this night without you
Sleep the night, I’ll still wake up for you
