Shawn Mullins - Sleep Alone lyrics

rate me

Don't tell me about the nature of desire

I sit and watch you

twisted, tangled in the wire

I'm on the road now

and you're glad to see me go

I guess you'll sit outside

and watch your flowers grow.

Oh, I never knew the rounds

I'd take for loving you.

I hope you're happy with your life

I guess you'll sleep along tonight.

I used to wonder

how you kept me down so long

I'm glad to say

that now I'm back where I belong.

I'm on the road now

and I'm wishing I was fast asleep

I thinking of the promises

you never seem to keep.

Oh, I never knew the rounds

I'd take for loving you.

I hope you're happy with your life

I guess you'll sleep along tonight.

Don't try and change my mind.

There's nothing left to say.

Yea you've been buying time

but now you're gonna pay.

So don't tell me

about the nature of desire

I sit and watch you

twisted, tangled in the wire.

I'm on the road now

and I'm glad to see me go.

I guess I'll sit outside

and watch the flowers grow.

Oh, I never knew the rounds

I'd take for loving you.

I hope you're happy with your life

I guess you'll sleep along tonight.
