Richard Buckner - Slept lyrics

rate me

Awake tonight,

I'll fall away to sometime until we meet.

& how will you be to me

while the passers go & the awhiles grow?

W/ no rings to repay, no ghosts on the phone.

my second sleep story:

I ran down the stairs & onto the street

(of course, the chase was sheap).

But, here she walks again

on bent-up promises

(Hear that whisper shake out, "Honey, where've you

been?")

There's nights I still fall:

I track down the grate & head straight for the light

& raze the ride.

But, should the road ever slow...

Would you ever go home when you waltz off & over?

Or, will you stay & lie awake tonight?
