Celeste

(album: Big Crown Vaults, Vol. 3 - 2023)

She was coasting, riding easy
With the one that she belonged to sleeping through the night
He was dreaming of a good life
Thought he'd have it as soon as he woke

She was waiting for him to rise
But her lover was under a spell planted in disguise
By another close as kin
He knows to be calm some other night

Don't you know a sleeping man is easy prey
When she sees another she'll be swept away
So watch out for the one who'll promise you the best
He might just steal your darling, dear Celeste

Now she's coasting, riding easy
Packed her suitcase, left him behind and he woke alone
But this crying and privation
'Cause he knew love's built on shady ground

Don't you know a sleeping man is easy prey
When she sees another she'll be swept away
So watch out for the one who'll promise you the best
He might just steal your darling, dear Celeste

Hmm, hmm

Don't you know a sleeping man is easy prey
When she sees another she'll be swept away
So watch out for the one who'll promise you the best
He might just steal your darling, dear Celeste
