I’ve been asleep for a long, long time Blond hair to brown and then brown to white My ma is buried beside my dad But I was asleep for all of that
I shut my eyes for a moment’s rest ‘Cause I get so tired What thing transpired while my body slept? Beset my mind
All the schools that I went to have all been closed And all of my teachers are dead I suppose The songs that we sung have all gone quiet What happens below as you sleep at night?
I shut my eyes for a moment’s rest ‘Cause I get so tired What things transpired while my body slept? Beset my mind
The river’s up, the reeds are caught Halfway across what never was The water rose and swept in slow When the reeds awoke they were half below
I’ve been asleep for a long, long time Blond hair to brown and then brown to white My ma is buried beside my dad But I was asleep for all of that
I’ve been asleep for a long, long time Blond hair to brown and brown to white My ma is buried beside my dad But I was asleep for all of that For all of that
