Paroles de Sleep Alone

Don't tell me about the nature of desire
I sit and watch you
twisted, tangled in the wire
I'm on the road now
and you're glad to see me go
I guess you'll sit outside
and watch your flowers grow.

Oh, I never knew the rounds
I'd take for loving you.
I hope you're happy with your life
I guess you'll sleep along tonight.

I used to wonder
how you kept me down so long
I'm glad to say
that now I'm back where I belong.
I'm on the road now
and I'm wishing I was fast asleep
I thinking of the promises
you never seem to keep.

Oh, I never knew the rounds
I'd take for loving you.
I hope you're happy with your life
I guess you'll sleep along tonight. but now you're gonna pay.
So don't tell me
about the nature of desire
I sit and watch you
twisted, tangled in the wire.
I'm on the road now
and I'm glad to see me go.
I guess I'll sit outside
and watch the flowers grow.

Oh, I never knew the rounds
I'd take for loving you.
I hope you're happy with your life
I guess you'll sleep along tonight.
