She's crying herself to sleep every night 'til her eyes shut and find better times She wakes when she dreams Sleeps when she wakes Now sleep my sweet girl And dream of better days Nothing it seems went according to plan Who are we kidding, there was never a plan We followed our instincts In the worst kind of ways Now sleep my sweet girl And dream of better days She sits at the bar, she smiles and she drinks She talks the whole night Never says what she means She'll fight when she's drunk We stay outta the way Now sleep my sweet girl And dream of better days She wears a sorrow beauty can't hide I pray she sheds it and sleep the whole night She wakes when she dreams Sleeps when she wakes Now sleep my sweet girl And dream of better days
