| sold a penny to the railroad
|
| nothing gained and nothing lost
|
| kept it underneath the pillow
|
| and sent it out to you for your thoughts
|
| will you hold it close to your heart
|
| or will you lose it the same day
|
| will you throw it in the well
|
| to gently wish me away
|
| do you really want me here
|
| do you really want me to stay
|
| do you really want me gone
|
| do you really want to wish me away
|
| the television glow will keep you
|
| safe and warm when you’re alone
|
| and you won’t be frightened by ghosts of birds that fly around the room
|
| and terrorize you flying
|
| im wide awake now
|
| you’re sound asleep now
|
| and these valiums are finally kicking in i can feel it under my skin
|
| i can feel your breath on my breath
|
| i can feel your heart on my arm
|
| i can see the glow in the room
|
| i can see the hummingbird fly away
|
| now i can feel your weight in my arms
|
| i can feel this weight on my heart
|
| do you really want me to stay
|
| do you really want me to go away
|
| im wide awake now
|
| you’re sound asleep now |
