The Harvest Quinn Band - Sleep Sound, Cleveland Lyrics
When this tired town settled down to sleepAnd the grinning clock could no longer herd the ambitious sheepI sat sifting through sands of silent stare, though you said I mustn't paceFound comfort in those kind shadows, just a silhouette without a faceWhen the curious light comes crawling through half drawn blindsRealize I've been lying wide awake just about half the timeSo I beg the jealous day, forget me for a whileTracing myself in other people's livesPlaying promises with piper's prideI can pull myself together tomorrow the boys criedAnd I took you asideGave you this adviceYou can all sleep sound in ClevelandTonightCould you ever forgive these fragile footstepsAnd the helpless patterns they create?Lord, I'm a slave to the serpent's satin tongueYou can open my eyes but I can't be savedFrom the fire that brings the fevered hushPlant our voices deep inside of meWhat do we reap but a few sorrowed lines?There is no season for a pauper's deceitSo I won't reach out my handsI beg the jealous day, forget me for a whileTracing myself in other people's livesPlaying promises with piper's prideI can pull myself together tomorrow the boys criedAnd I took you asideGave you this adviceYou can all sleep sound in ClevelandTonightYou can all sleep sound tonight
