coffin nails

from nocturnal by Lizzie Bartow

lyrics

Take three coffin nails, put me up for the night
I promise I stopped in for more than a bite
When you lie awake, I'll be lying with you too
Every hour spent sleeping is one I can't see you

Wake up when the sun rises
when the day breaks
and sleep closes my eyelids
Wake up! When the day is long
I will hide away
I will write this song

I'll say:
Where are you now, dear?
I'll say:
Where do you go?
I'll say
how hard it must be
when the sunlight blinds like snow
I'll say I am sorry
to leave you alone
I'll say I am sorry
I am little more than a ghost in your home

Lay back when the air is still
when the moon is full
you will get your fill
Lay down! When the night is deep
I will keep you there
I will guard your sleep

Take three coffin nails, put me up for the night
I promise I stopped in for more than a bite
When you lie awake, I'll be lying with you too
Every hour spent sleeping is one I can't see you
