Go To Sleep

Lay back, lay back, go to sleep, my man

Wipe the blood from your face and your hands

Forgive yourself if you think you can

Go to sleep, go to sleep, my man

Twenty-one days lost at sea, I fought

For twenty-two years, non-stop I talked

Through the desert, piss-drunk, and confused, I walked

I spit a tooth in the palm of my hand

Lay back, lay back, go to sleep, my man

Wipe the blood from your face and your hands

Forgive yourself if you think you can

Go to sleep, go to sleep, my man

Yeah, the wind and the trees are ganging up on me

They sing my funeral song in harmony

I just wanna walk home unaccompanied

But they keep singing, they keep singing

Singing, they keep singing

Singing, they keep singing to me

La, la, la, la, la, la (Singing to me)

La, la, la, la, la, la (I hear 'em singing)

La, la, la, la, la, la

Well, I wish things were different, true, and deep

But everything that's so shallow is everything about me

You know, they told me I could just take my money and leave

I hope the people on the ground will understand

I hope the people in the crowd will understand

Lay back, lay back, go to sleep, my man

Wipe the blood from your face and your hands

Forgive yourself if you think that you can

Go to sleep, go to sleep, my man (La, la)

Go to sleep, go to sleep, my man (La, la)

Go to sleep, go to sleep, my man
