Goodnight Sweet Ladies Songtext
von Emilie Autumn

Goodnight, sweet ladies
Goodnight, sweet friends
You lie but sleeping
Someday we will meet again
Sweet ladies
Goodnight, sweet friends
You lie but sleeping
Someday we will meet again

With rosemary green and bright
You're not forgotten. Eternal night
Can't fade your memory, dim your light
You've made a difference, you've won your fight

We lift our branches, and though we weep
No death could conquer, you only sleep
Goodnight, sweet ladies
Goodnight, sweet friends
You lie but sleeping
Someday we will meet again


Goodnight, sweet ladies
Goodnight, sweet friends
You lie but sleeping
Someday we will meet again
Sweet ladies
Goodnight, sweet friends
You lie but sleeping
Someday we will meet again

With rosemary green and bright
You're not forgotten. Eternal night
Can't fade your memory, dim your light
You've made a difference, you've won your fight

We lift our branches, and though we weep
No death could conquer, you only sleep
Goodnight, sweet ladies
Goodnight, sweet friends
You lie but sleeping
Someday we will meet again

Let no voice falter, let die no flame
Let all remember your every name
Let faces turn to the starry sky
Let songs be sung till our throats are dry


Let no voice falter, let die no flame
Let all remember your every name
Let faces turn to the starry sky
Let songs be sung till our throats are dry
Dry
Dry

Four o'clock, four o'clock
Never let me sleep
Four o'clock, four o'clock
(The art of suicide, nightgowns and hair)
Never let me sleep
(Curls flying every which where)
I close my eyes and pray for the garish light of day
(The pain to pure to hide)
(If I burn, you will see)
Like a frightened child I run from the sleep that never comes
(Bridges of sighs meant to conceal lovers' lies)
(The fire in your mind, when you sleep)

Under the arches of moonlight and sky
(I pray for the garish light of day
Like a frightened child I run from the sleep that never comes)
Under the arches of moonlight and sky
