Sleep There Till Dawn / Sleep Until Dawn

I got your message at work
You sounded so hurt
Were there tears in your voice?
I couldn’t quite tell for the noise

You said he’d been ’round
And you had to explain
While you sat drinking tea on the porch in the pouring rain

And you look tired tonight
Like you might have been cryin’
So put your head on my shoulder, baby
Sleep there till dawn

He gave you the blame
For him messin’ up
While you silently swept up the pieces
Of love’s broken cup

And you look tired tonight
Like you might’ve been cryin’
And the pain in your eyes
Isn’t finished with dyin’
But I won’t even ask
For it soon will be gone
So put your head on my shoulder, baby
Sleep there till dawn

And I know about him
And I know about me
But I wanna find out about you

I said I packed up his stuff
But it’s still lyin’ here
Now I want to drive out in the night
Where my thoughts can be clear

You said if love is alive
Ah, then sometimes it dies
But I’m not gonna mourn
No, I’m not gonna cry
I said if something can die
It can also be born
So put your head on my shoulder, baby
Sleep there till dawn

Then you pulled me in closer
And you kissed me so long
You laid your sweet head on my shoulder
Slept there till dawn

Put your head on my shoulder, baby
Sleep there till dawn
