Sleeping

The Band · Stage Fright [1970]

For the life we chose in the evening we rose

Just long enough to be lovers again

And for nothing more, the world was too sore

To live in



Sad old ships

A morning eclipse

I spent my whole life guessing

Then I turned from the sun

And saw everyone

Searching



The hoot owl and his song, will bring you along

Where else on earth would you wanna go?

We can leave all this hate, before it's too late

Why would we wanna come back at all?



Cobwebs on my pillow

I'm found in the willow

I'd spend my whole life sleeping

To be called by noon

Is to be called too soon

Today



The storm is passed

There is peace at last

I'll spend my whole life sleeping

Now there's not a sound

No one to be found

Anywhere



The shepherd and his sheep

Will wind you to sleep

Where else on earth would you wanna go?

To a land of wonder

When you go under

Why would we want to come back at all?
