Lyrics

Are dreams of me still fading when you wake next to him? Of every pill you're taking won't help you soon forget. I remember we'd lie among your sheets in your bed beneath the cedar beams. And we'd watch the shadows as they flee. I will speak of this no more. How I couldn't be the one to hold. How I couldn't give the love that made you weep. But remember the song that I'll sing for you, and I'll sing it to you while you sleep. And in the night I'll wander. I'm stumbling throught the dark. Night watchmen say I'm crazy, I'm just a man apart. And we'd lie beneath the autumn trees with your hair that fell like the turning leaves. But our love was never evergreen. I will sing of this no more. How I couldn't be the one to hold. How I couldn't give the love that made you weep. But remember the song that I'll sing for you, and I'll sing it to you while you sleep. And when you fear in the night, you can close your eyes and turn your head again. While there's a piece of you crying out for me, you will be falling into him. How I couldn't be the one to hold. How I couldn't give the love that made you weep. But remember the song that I'll sing for you, and I'll sing it to you while you sleep.
