Sleep Enough to Dream Lyrics
My father died on a bed of fire
He wore a ring on my mothers hand
He didn’t want to go to heaven
Just to be a stranger there
Just to be a stranger there.
When he was gone the hill went wild
The orchard fell and the roses died
Weeds were tall and the well was dry
A mourning place underneath a morning sky
So sleep enough to dream
Because things aren’t what they seem
No time enough for me
So sleep enough to dream
My mother’s daughter and my father’s son
Badly wounded but surviving one
The night rolled on while the moon was gone
Dark and empty until my sister’s son
When he was born the hill went wild
The orchard bloomed and October smiled
Full of hope as a promised child
And the books were balanced for a little while.
So sleep enough to dream
Because things aren’t what they seem
No time enough for me
So sleep enough to dream
Sleep enough to dream
He wore a ring on my mothers hand
He didn’t want to go to heaven
Just to be a stranger there
Just to be a stranger there.
The orchard fell and the roses died
Weeds were tall and the well was dry
A mourning place underneath a morning sky
Because things aren’t what they seem
No time enough for me
So sleep enough to dream
Badly wounded but surviving one
The night rolled on while the moon was gone
Dark and empty until my sister’s son
The orchard bloomed and October smiled
Full of hope as a promised child
And the books were balanced for a little while.
Because things aren’t what they seem
No time enough for me
So sleep enough to dream
Sleep enough to dream
