Sleep Away
Lyrics by M. Lacombe

I want to live to be an old man with you
I want to feel your breath upon my neck and upon my shoulder as you whisper in my ear
I want to dream of a lazy warm horizon throwing shadows over me
I want to sleep for as long as it’ll take for my skin to wrinkle and for when white hairs prevail

I close my eyes
And sleep away them days
Was this the life meant for me?
Or did I falsely perceive

I want to live a full life custom made just for me
I want to drink scotch and whiskey and smoke recklessly
I want to do all of these good things with you by my side
I want to feast on good wisdom and spit out the tension from financial dependence we’ll just let things happen and I most guarantee that we shall be content

Lay your head upon my chest, we’ll just sit and we shall grow old
Looking out we can see all of life’s mysteries playing out on the horizon with the sunset throwing shadows over me and you and our dog, his names Blue; he’s the laziest hound dog that I’ve ever known
Now I look back just to see that you’re not here with me

I call your name with no reply
Was that dream not meant for me?
I understand now, you were not there, you never were, but I was
