All I Slept Songtext
von Day Sleeper

Folded the page at the corner
Stood naked as the moon
Spoke down in ancient whispers
To a fell tree, across the River Youth
With dread in her breast pocket
My wreath on a darker door
Yoko′s still on my television
I'm still half asleep, with the windows ajar

A dog barking in a black garden
I watched you atomise before my eyes
I was still a while shy of knowing
This wasteland as my own design
I stood twilit as Gabriel
Heralds sang through the exit wound
As the nights just kept falling and falling
All I slept became a tendеr bruise

All I slept becamе a tender bruise
Out of a song-less dark
I turn to you


Up and over a shoulder
With petrol rags on the fire, there was jubilee
Hoisted high about the parapet
Wrapt I slept, heavy-headed down in the weeds
Jet plane′s ascension was my end of days
Heard we'd be coming down some place in the Everglades
With no salvage left of which to speak
Imagined damage is a heavy shade

A dog barking in a black garden
I watched you atomise before my eyes
I was still a while shy of knowing
This wasteland as my own design
I stood twilit as Gabriel
Heralds sang through the exit wound
As the nights just kept falling and falling
All I slept became a tender bruise

All I slept became a tender bruise
Out of a song-less dark
I turn to you
All I slept became a tender bruise
Out of a song-less dark
I turn to you

All I slept, became a tender bruise
Is there peace beyond the wreckage
I've been carried here through?
