You gotta bring the bread to the table
|
You gotta bring the bread on home
|
So you dance for the rain and the sun and the wind
|
And you pray for your crops to grow
|
|
And every morning till sundown
|
You work your hands to the bone
|
You keep your head high and your eyes wide
|
Diamond in your mind and you bring the bread home
|
|
But when I'm asleep
|
When I'm asleep
|
I'm not anyone
|
You're not anywhere
|
|
But when I'm asleep
|
When I'm asleep
|
I'm not anyone
|
You're not anywhere
|
|
And you know I gotta win your heart babe
|
You know I gotta win your love
|
So I promise the moon and the stars and the sea
|
And I pray to the stars above
|
With every beat my hearts skipping
|
You'll know what I'm made of
|
I keep light on and the bed warm
|
Shelter from the storm and I'm keepin' our love
|
|
But when I'm asleep
|
When I'm asleep
|
I'm not anyone
|
You're not anywhere
|
|
When I'm asleep
|
When I'm asleep
|
I'm not anyone
|
You're not anywhere
|
|
And my mouth doesn't talk back to me
|
And my plans don't have to be
|
And my back doesn't feel gravity
|
And my dreams go back to sleep
|
|
And you know I gotta make it to heaven
|
You know I gotta save my soul
|
So I marry the lord and I drink from the scars
|
And I swear off my worldly ways
|
|
And every second a baby
|
Is born through his mother's bones
|
And torn from grace gotta find your faith
|
Or the devil's gonna claim your soul
|
|
Go back to sleep
|
Go back to sleep
|
I'm not anyone
|
You're not anywhere
|
|
Go back to sleep
|
Go back to sleep
|
I'm not anyone
|
You're not anywhere...
