Mark Eitzel - Sleeping Beauty lyrics

As i drove away over the dead leaves of your southern town I watched you wave and wave - in the mirror i saw you wave As the autumn fell - until i made my turn and i said oh well This could well bee the last time i see your beautiful hands Your frozen hands your trembling hands that could not hold on To any heart that's warm to any lie that's cold your hands Were made to burn in the sun I like to get there safe i like to get my sleep Selfish with my time like it was something i could keep Oh but you know the truth it never helped you much It only beat it drum it woke sleeping beauty up too much It woke her up too much x2 The bankers the liars and the thieves They want to sell you into a life of fear They call it a plan that will make you free But nothings free - you taught me that my dear No one can love the way you love With the blind purity of a honey bee But now that sweetness feels like a mistake i grieve It poisons my life - becomes a prison i don't want to leave As i drove away over the dead leaves And merged into the stream of those who know their lines Stagnant reason why we travel so far away from our hearts Like flies caught in jars Little flies buzzing in cars
