Or sleeping in your dress blues You never planned on the bombs in the sand Mamas and grandmamas love you What can you see from your window? I can't see anything from mine Flags on the side of the highway And scripture on grocery store signs Maybe

This is for Matilda And she needs you This is from This is from Matilda Just like Johnny Flynn said, 'the breath I've taken and the one I must' to go on Put the grenade pin in your hand, so you understand who's boss My defeat sleeps top to toe with her

Yours is the only ocean, That I wanna swing from, I was biting the time zone, And we embellish the banks of our bloodstreams, And threw caution to the colorful Then we fell asleep in the car, Until the bumps woke me up in your grip And the tide took me

And I'm lost again Too far from you I'm lost again Some nights I don't sleep at all I lie awake with my eyes closed Some days I'm inside a cloud So tired I just float around I thought time would fade your face

And know that if I knew all of the answers I would not hold them from you Know all of the things that I know 'Cause we've told each other There is no other way When your mind is a mess so is mine I can't sleep 'Cause it hurts when I think my thoughts

Yeah I'll always be waiting for you So I look in your direction And on and on from the moment I wake To the moment I sleep I'll be there by your side Just you try and stop me I'll be waiting in line Did she want me to change Well I change for good

Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run Run Daddy run, run daddy run All the songs you used to sing to me Would rock birds to sleep I need you now so please somehow Put rockets on your feet (oh oh oh oh) Saw that

Mama don't cry no more Wipe those tears from your eyes Mama, theres so many nights we sleep in a bundle like a flock of sheep Ooh..better days are there for sure Oh I will bear the hunger, we poor Mama, theres so many times we go through days without

And it all adds up And it all adds up There ain't no magic bullet There's no cure for the weak There's no sympathetic shoulder here to put you to sleep You're a long, long way from where you thought you would be You know I love it when you say you're

Or sleeping in your dress blues You never planned on the bombs in the sand Mamas and grandmamas love you What can you see from your window? I can't see anything from mine Flags on the side of the highway And scripture on grocery store signs Maybe
