Sleep Well Goodnight

If all it took was a word, you would have talked about it
until the backs of the stars got tired hearing bout it
You only said you were sorry when it came to you easy
We could almost hear you over all your mistakes
If all it took was a good cry, you'd have drowned us in it
Got you in some Noah's Ark til all the dying finished
You always knew the way out was looking like you meant it
We could almost believe you oh when we were asleep
And in the dark, you should know we made a promise we
would never hurt you for your lies
But in our hearts, you should know sometimes secretly
we all think maybe we should try
So I hope you sleep well
Goodnight
If all it took was a prayer, you would have played us with it
Led your sheep to the slaughter while you asked forgiveness
You always said you're a good man, you had “good intentions”
We could almost see them on the backs of your hands
In the dark you should know we made a promise we
would never hurt you for your lies
But in our hearts, you should know sometimes secretly
we all think maybe we should try
So I hope you sleep well
Goodnight
In the dark you should know we made a promise we
would never hurt you for your lies
But in our hearts, you should know sometimes secretly
we all think maybe we should try
It would be so easy
to take the low road, the only one you know so
it would be so easy
leave you blindsided, everybody high fiving
everybody’d finally sleep tight
Goodnight

We got a long track record of dreaming
of getting lost and torn apart at all our seams
Yeah we go way back, back to the river
back to the women no god bothered to deliver
We come from cigarettes, yeah and old shoes
from moving out every time the rent was due
And penniless old men with guitars
and children in the back room praying in the dark
Tennessee whiskey
Oh, it's in the blood and bones of me
Hallelujah, hallelujah
We wore our sleeves long, covered our bruises
The first to whine or cry in front of daddy loses
We sang the church songs, prayed to the holy ghost
Stayed up all night washing blood out of our Sunday clothes
From cheap shacks and a bloody cough
from orphans raised under a bloody cross
Oh we go way back - back to the moonshine
Back to raising hell and dying young and doing time
Tennessee whiskey
Oh, it's in the blood and bones of me
Hallelujah, hallelujah

I'm Done Waiting
03:33
|

For the last time, I'm not gonna do it
I’m not gonna say it
Don’t you put me through it
For the last time, I'm not gonna wait on you
If you hesitated, you've got only you to blame
Cause we’ve had centuries of silence
human flesh and concrete floors
No small amount of true repentance
piled up just outside your door
So I'm done waiting
I'm done waiting
I'm not waiting anymore
For the last time, I'm not gonna do it
I’m not gonna say it
Don’t you put me through it
For the last time, I'm not gonna wait on you
If you hesitated, you've got only you to blame
Cause we’ve had centuries of silence
human flesh and concrete floors
No small amount of true repentance
piled up just outside your door
So I'm done waiting
I'm done waiting
I'm not waiting anymore

Over Land, Over Sea
05:08

Stupid thing you said in the dark
that you've never known who you are
You’ve followed every single star
like it could take you home
But every road ends up in the same
bed you laid your head yesterday
The same worried look on your face
just as lost and alone
Over land oh, oh over sea
it will come, it will come, wait and see
Will the sun not rise though you sleep?
Keep her deserts dry though you weep?
So sleep
You were lost, you said, from the start
Tried to crowd out some broken heart
Stayed up all hours in the dark
like it could save your soul
But the earth’s got plenty of time
and if you take a breath she’ll be fine
She can bear your weight, love, and mine
if you let it go
Over land oh, oh over sea
it will come, it will come, wait and see
Will the sun not rise though you sleep?
Keep her deserts dry though you weep?
So sleep
So sleep
So sleep
You’ve had your dreams as deep as the sea
All the things you thought you would be
But this is you, love, now, this is me
I think we’re beautiful

Do Your Worst

Hey baby, do your worst
I've seen too much to fight it
Hey baby, do your worst
There's too much wrong to right it
Don't say you're sorry
Just do what you have to do
**
Hey baby, don't hold back
There's no use now pretending
Hey baby, don't hold back
Your silences won't change the ending
Don't say you're sorry
Just do what you have to do
**
You made this bed and you're gonna lay in it, lay in it
You got this far, now baby let's go
You can't do no more harm just by saying it, saying it --
Ain't nothing gonna break my heart that I don't already know
**
Hey baby, do your worst
I've seen too much to fight it
Hey baby, do your worst
There's too much wrong to right it
