Sleep In The Park

(album: Old Sea Brigade - 2016)

It's 8 PM
I walk home from a hit that I never really felt within
Go home, go to sleep
Be a dreamer, don't be a thief

And I act surprised
I met a blind man who probably could have seen her eyes
And I don't know where he came from
Or where she goes nobody knows

Now I sleep in the park
Out there in the cold
You won't need my jacket
In another man's home
And I'll get used to the feel
What it is to live
She won't need my jacket
Cause she's staying in with him

Turn the night into day
Let the sun hit the freeze and I wish it'd all melt away
City life of a drinker
Battle scars for a thinker

Now I sleep in the park
Out there in the cold
You won't need my jacket
In another man's home
And I'll get used to the feel
What it is to live
She won't need my jacket
Cause she's staying in with him

There were times when it was broken
There were times when it was saved
There were times when we were holy
When we were different, when we behaved

Now I sleep in the park
Out there in the cold
You won't need my jacket
In another man's home
And I'll get used to the feel
What it is to live
She won't need my jacket
Cause she's staying in with him
