Hey Rosetta - I've Been Asleep For A Long, Long Time lyrics

rate me

Ive been asleep for a long, long time

Blond hair to brown and brown to white

My ma is buried beside my dad

But I was asleep for all of that

And I shut my eyes for a moments rest

Cause I get so tired

What thing transpired while my body slept?

To beset my mind

Well the schools that we went to have all been closed

And all of my teachers are dead I suppose

The songs that we sung have all gone quiet

What happens below as we sleep at night?

And I shut my eyes for a moments rest

Cause I get so tired

What things transpired while my body slept?

And beset my mind

The rivers up, the reeds are caught

Halfway across what never was

The water rose and swept in slow

When the reeds awoke they were half below

Ive been asleep for a long, long time

Blond hair to brown and then brown to white

My ma is buried beside my dad

But I was asleep for all of that

Ive been asleep for a long, long time

Blond hair to brown and brown to white

My ma is buried beside my dad

But I was asleep for all of that

For all of that
