You keep your feelings locked in a cage
You're too tired to talk and your nerves are all frayed
How bloodshot your eyes are when they look into mine
I try to ask you say "It's not the time"
You're staring at your bottle, drifting to sleep
Trying so hard, but you just can't keep
Your eyes open... just let them shut
I won't wake you unless the times get rough
I will let you sleep until the morning comes
When the pain becomes too much to bear
Darling know that I'll be there
But when you sleep... dream of me
But when you sleep... dream of me
You retreat to your room like a fox to its den
Painting a picture with your ballpoint pen
You reach for your bottle like a newborn babe
The sweet bite of liquor is what you most crave
You're staring at your bottle, drifting to sleep
Trying so hard, but you just can't keep
Your eyes open... just let them shut
I won't wake you unless the times get rough
I will let you sleep until the morning comes
When the pain becomes too much to bear
Darling know that I'll be there
But when you sleep... dream of me
But when you sleep... dream of me
I won't wake you unless the times get rough
I will let you sleep until the morning comes
When the pain becomes too much to bear
Darling know that I'll be there
But when you sleep... dream of me
But when you sleep... dream of me
But when you sleep... dream of me
But when you sleep... dream of me
