I don't need you, you've only caused me grief Forgive me if I fall asleep I haven't slept in centuries Put me on a boat, leave my inhibitions at bay My mind is spilling but I haven't much to say I was running through the canyons towards the echoes of your name You were laughing at me like sun laughs at a flame Put me on a page in a book of beginnings Let me scroll through old volumes of ancient teachings Let me revel in all of these forgotten feelings Lay me with the wretched in the arms of my queen So long sweet misery I don't need you, you've only caused me grief Forgive me if I fall asleep I haven't slept in centuries So long sweet misery I don't need you, you've only caused me grief Forgive me if I fall asleep I haven't slept in centuries. No, I haven't slept in centuries. I haven't slept in centuries Album Lyrics: So Much More [2006] Brett Dennen "So Much More [2006]" 1. Because You Are A Woman 2. I Asked When 3.
