We Don't Sleep Here, Anymore
Lyrics to a Song yet to Be Written
Blistered light gives way
To misted Night we pray
Apollo's curse has won
the Peering Eyes above the sun
Look inside your homes
Is that really the story you want told
A man who missed the day
He would finally find another way
********************************
Silver light drops down
Illuminates your evening gown
The call pulls you away
Luna ties a price to pay
Hang it round your neck
Wrists confined and an open mouth
a Lone Fool's sure to wreck
We'll face the tide together
We don't sleep here
Anymore
We don't sleep here
Anymore
And when the tide comes in and tumbles down
We'll find the sin that keeps us bound
There's nobody left
Just Kings in shrouds
Longing to be Proud
Longing to be Proud
********************************
I'm sure you miss your bed
But not for Healthy reasons
Somewhere to rest your head
but your Eyes don't Get that treatment
the Sun will rise again
You watch the beams from your pillow
Life returns to the world
Only seen from windows
We don't sleep here
Anymore
We don't sleep here
Anymore
And when the tide comes in and tumbles down
We'll find the sin that keeps us bound
There's nobody left
Just Kings in shrouds
Longing to be Proud
Longing to be Proud
********************************

CHAPTER 15 I pulled up in front of Sandy’s a little early, so I texted Becca again and left a message for Sharon, hoping she had a good day and I’d see her tomorrow. Two cars pulled into Sandy’s driveway. I don’t know why I was surprised to see another man with her. We’d been apart for two years and I certainly didn’t waste any time getting back on the horse.
