Your Baby Was Asleep Lyrics
The lights were on, and you were gone, working for your wheat
And the shadow from the minute hand shifted in retreat
And I will write your elegy, a craftsman at his peak
If you can tell me where you were when your baby was asleep
I picked up tips, learned my tricks from professionals on the street
Have my slab and cleaving blades, a butcher on my neat
And I will carve the choicest cuts, and serve them as your treat
If you can tell me where you were when your baby was asleep
Gentle was the touch of you
Your hands they commit
Did scatter every demon where
Your baby was asleep
And now you say to me today through stained and gritted teeth
That you had tried your uttermost to delay the laurel wreath
And thinking of your father's disapproval makes you weak
Cause you were not a father when your baby was asleep
And gentle was the touch of you
Your hands they commit
Did scatter every demon where
Your baby was asleep
And the shadow from the minute hand shifted in retreat
And I will write your elegy, a craftsman at his peak
If you can tell me where you were when your baby was asleep
Have my slab and cleaving blades, a butcher on my neat
And I will carve the choicest cuts, and serve them as your treat
If you can tell me where you were when your baby was asleep
Your hands they commit
Did scatter every demon where
Your baby was asleep
That you had tried your uttermost to delay the laurel wreath
And thinking of your father's disapproval makes you weak
Cause you were not a father when your baby was asleep
Your hands they commit
Did scatter every demon where
Your baby was asleep
