Sleep Till The War Is Over (Australian Bonus Track)

(album: Cradlesong - 2009)

You say we're better off not knowing
If we cannot save a life
Somebody said there's a new day coming
Yeah but it don't feel right

And we wear these scars
Because we got no imagination
And we trade these lives
For any feeling we can ever know

All I can do is try to make sense of all this loss
All I can do is try to live my life

But I don't want to dance
I don't want to sing
I just want to sleep 'til the war is over
I don't want to lose everything
I just want to sleep 'til the war is over
The war is over
But it ain't over

You say you judge them by their color
But what you can't say is why
Is it too hard just to love one another?
Where do we take this life?

And we wear these scars
They say we go not destination
And from where we are
It seems we're never gonna make it home

All I can do is try to make sense of all this loss
All I can do is try to live my life

But I don't want to dance
I don't want to sing
I just want to sleep 'til the war is over
I don't to lose everything, no
I just want to sleep 'til the war is over

I don't want to dance
I don't want to sing
I just want to sleep 'til the war is over
I don't want to lose everything, no
I just want to sleep 'til the war is
Sleep 'til the war is over

All I can do is try to make some sense of all this loss
All I can do is try to close my eyes

'Cause I don't want to dance
I don't want to sing
I just want to sleep 'til the war is over
I don't want to lose everything
I just want to sleep 'til the war is over

I don't want to dance
And I don't want to sing
And I just want to sleep 'til the war is over
I don't want to lose everything, no
I just want to sleep 'til the war is over

The war is over
