Sleepy-Town - Jim White |
| [00:18.07] |
I whisper beautiful secrets into |
| [00:23.45] |
The drainpipes at night |
| [00:28.72] |
For the old folks while they're sleeping |
| [00:33.12] |
Something to help them with their dreams |
| [00:38.31] |
I climb the wall to the cemetery |
| [00:43.75] |
Lay down on the grave of my father |
| [00:48.67] |
I hear him asking me for forgiveness |
| [00:53.92] |
So I close my eyes in prayer |
| [00:58.08] |
And then a rainy-rainy-rain falls down |
| [01:02.79] |
A cool rainy-rain upon my head |
| [01:07.57] |
Makes the river overflow it's banks |
| [01:12.76] |
And wash my cares away to Sleepy-town |
| [01:27.49] |
I pour whiskey in the honeycomb |
| [01:32.09] |
It makes the bees all turn to angels |
| [01:36.80] |
I watch them fly off into heaven |
| [01:41.33] |
They Disappear where I can't follow |
| [01:46.19] |
And I would write Jesus a letter |
| [01:51.48] |
But I hear that he don't speak English |
| [01:56.12] |
So instead I'll just throw these cobblestones |
| [02:00.91] |
Until I ring that old church bell |
| [02:05.07] |
Until the rainy-rainy-rain fall down |
| [02:09.86] |
Cool rainy-rain upon my head |
| [02:14.75] |
Makes the river overflow it's banks |
| [02:19.65] |
And wash my cares away to Sleepy-town |
| [02:26.80] |
To Sleepy-town |
| [02:35.59] |
In Sleepy town |
| [02:38.74] |
Sleepy town |
| [02:40.30] |
You let the wild wind blow away your name |
| [02:44.99] |
In Sleepy town |
| [02:48.11] |
Sleepy town |
| [02:49.66] |
You let the healing rain just wash your pain away |
| [03:11.02] |
I see a light on in the station |
| [03:15.60] |
Yeah someone is waiting for a train |
| [03:20.94] |
And I envy them their leaving |
| [03:25.50] |
As I turn to head back home again |
| [03:30.18] |
For soon the morning sun will rise |
| [03:34.91] |
And this little town will open up it's eyes |
| [03:39.72] |
Return from the land where I've never been |
| [03:44.53] |
From a Sleepy-town that's free |
| [03:50.95] |
From all that rainy-rainy-rain fall down |
| [03:55.68] |
The cool rainy-rain upon my head |
| [04:00.47] |
Makes the river overflow it's banks |
| [04:05.35] |
And wash my cares away |
| [04:13.98] |
Yeah to Sleepy-town |
| [04:17.60] |
Sleepy town |
| [04:19.36] |
Sleepy town |
| [04:22.32] |

| [04:29.94] |
Sleepy Sleepy town |
