I've seen the way you sleep at night lonesome drifting in your bed Some noise to dull the pounding of all the things that fill your head And behind those weary irises, old familiar shadows creep And they fill your rods and cones with little reasons you can't sleep Look I've read ahead and everyone dies tragically at the end There's beauty disguised in the closing of an eye And even uncut flowers will shrivel in time But you can read by my light The barest bones of what you need are pressed into your hand And the castle walls you built so high are sinking in the sand If silence is a stranger well other treasures might be too Come by the welcome party thats waiting here for you Look I've read ahead and everyone dies tragically at the end There's beauty disguised in the closing of an eye And even uncut flowers will shrivel in time But you can read by my light ♪ I've seen the way you sleep at night lonesome drifting in your bed Some noise to dull the pounding of all those things that fill your head Look I've read ahead and everyone dies tragically at the end There's beauty disguised in the closing of an eye And even wilting flowers recover sometimes But you can read by my light Oh you can read by my light
