Lyrics

[00:03.638] She tied a rope around your neck
[00:07.754] And led you through the town
[00:11.874] With love that’s like the gallows Strung
[00:16.150] But she’ll never cut you down
[00:20.720] When you left, the Sun went out
[00:24.918] Walk in fields of grey
[00:28.824] And I will wear my feather crown
[00:33.536] Turn the night to day
[00:37.334] You said my name, but the devil came
[00:41.103] With her black eyes and paper cut smile
[00:45.680] You said, "My love, has it been so long?
[00:49.361] Won’t you stay a little while?"
[00:54.129] I said, "No chance, the devil won’t dance
[00:58.110] Or run with the wolves in the wild
[01:02.463] I’ve had my fill, my way with your will
[01:06.134] Leave me here, leave me here,"
[01:09.667] "To sleep like a child
[01:17.901] To sleep like a child
[01:26.293] To sleep like a child
[01:34.766] To sleep like a child
[01:51.467] To sleep like a child."
[02:01.345] You asked me silently
[02:09.777] To keep your secrets close to me
[02:18.244] You asked me silently
[02:26.494] To keep your secrets close to me
[02:34.640]
[03:23.572] To sleep like a child
[03:31.602] To sleep like a child
