[00:00.00]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
