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 theyre 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 like i was a little child sing me to sleep i just want to close my eyes 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 like i was a little child sing me to sleep i just want to close my eyes 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
