The Sleep Of The Good

(album: Heathcliff Live - 1996)

No-one can touch you now no
No-one can harm you, you're finally free
Your passion all spent
Your savage intent
To break away meant to break me
Oh Cathy the game you played!
Oh Cathy you've paid
I've been betrayed
I try to find the words to justify
All that you've put me through
What gave you the right
To leave me?
When you
You knew
I loved you
I pray you find some peace at last
The sleep of the good
If only I could

Only my life remains cold
This is a winter will never know spring
As time and again
I try to contain
The anger and pain that you bring
Oh Cathy my reckless one!
Oh Cathy it's done
The night's begun
You lie so close, so calm, so motionless
I can almost believe
That you're still in my arms
Within me
So near
To hear
I loved you
I pray I find some peace at last
The sleep of the good
If only I could
