Another victim following suit in a field of flowers I sigh and wish I could cry You bravely took me in, I sigh It's like a bad storm that took the lights from you Into the depths of another broken home Another red eye from picking roses What beauty there is lost in the, lost in the thorns I wish I could protect you I wish I could Sleep, my holy child I know that the world isn't fair to your kind Think of a comfortable place Are you in Sleep my child You played a question game we couldn't answer, couldn't transfer Right wrong place time, who could've known You asked a question that we couldn't answer, couldn't answer Couldn't surround to keep you warm And when it gets cold in August The rain is gonna come and then wash away your pain, wash away your pain Not only will it pump out your heart But it will seep into your lungs And open up the pores, right into the floodgates A river the enemy of memories I never thought to question the times we had All the best of them is the best of you Sleep my child
