I Slept All Night by My Lover
[Verse 1]
Lookin' out my window, glad to see another dawn
A few cars strugglin' through the snow
It's so hard to believe it could all be here and gone
So quickly and we wouldn't even know
And I slept all night by my lover
[Verse 2]
She trembles in her sleep, deep in a bad dream
I touch her brow and she ceases shaking
Why should I sleep with such a lovely watch to keep
In an hour or so the children will be waking
And I slept all night by my lover
[Verse 3]
Madmen with guns stalk the deer at night
They bring down the dark the whole world over
Even in my dreams, I can see their shining eyes
Thеy pierce me and thеy leave me with no cover
And I slept all night by my lover
And I slept all night by my lover
