Sing Me To Sleep

Well the roof it leaks
 And the stairs they creak
 When no one else is around
 And yesterday
 I was on my way
 Now my cars broken down
 Guess I'll have to stick around for now
 And the sun's come and gone
 Without showing its face
 Another day gone
 Night takes its place
 And I have no clue
 What else is new
 I'm just taking up space
 An old dog who's given up the chase
 And I have no doubt
 That the stars came out
 I just couldn't see them for all of the gray
 But if one of them did fall
 I hope it heard my call
 And will send an extra wish my way
 Lord knows I could use the break
 Cause I've grown so tired
 My dreams aren't on fire
 They're ashes in my mouth
 And all my old questions
 They seem so much less than Important
 To me now
 The coals have gone out
 So won't you
 Sing me to sleep
 I just want to close my eyes
 Sing me to sleep
 Like I was a little child
 Sing me to sleep
 Tell me it's gonna be alright
 Won't you sing me to sleep
 Lay right here by my side
 Oh and sing me one last sweet lullaby
 So won't you
 Sing me to sleep
 I just want to close my eyes
 Sing me to sleep
 Like I was a little child
 Won't you sing me to sleep
 Tell me it's gonna be alright
 Won't you sing me to sleep
 Lay right here by my side
 Oh and sing me one last sweet lullaby
