My Lover Is Gone - Mansfield.TYA

My life has been a prison

Is my lover gone?

She left me last week

Without explanation

At night I fall asleep

On a pillow of tears

And when the sun rises

I hear the crack of my heart

I hear the crack of my heart

I hear the crack of my heart

I hear the crack of my heart

INSTRUMENTAL

My favorite illness

Is a generous laziness

That leaves me plenty of time

To talk with my sorrow

Do you know what she told me

As I started to dance

With a knife in my hand

And desire to kill her

She said don’t you think that

By killing nightmares

Today you’re killing also

Sweet dreams of tomorrow

She said don’t you think that

By killing nightmares

Today you’re killing also

Sweet dreams of tomorrow

She said don’t you think that

By killing nightmares

Today you’re killing also

Sweet dreams of tomorrow

She said don’t you think that

By killing nightmares

Today you’re killing also

Sweet dreams of tomorrow

She said

By killing nightmares

Today
