Lie Awake Lyrics

The moon is low

You are alone

You lie awake with that old stone

To sing a song, inspired now

The moon is low

Your heart is cold

Use this time before you grow old

The road is long

I'm tired now

I only wish I had done something

Or that the world was fair

I only wish I had done something

A flower in my hair

A flower in my hair

A stone lay on my heart

I loved you more than fair

I always hate this part

I could stay until you break

Do I have a soul to take

It was a dream, one precious lie

Does it matter if I fall

I thought love was lord of all

Every gleam, has left my eye

I only wish I had done something

Or that I didn't care

What a wicked song to sing

A flower in my hair

A flower in my hair

A stone lay on my heart

I loved you more than fair

I always hate this part

But iron strike me down right here

And I will wait for you

Even lovers drown my dear

A heart is always true

So what I am is poisonous

But what I give is free

Although the heart is treacherous

I hope you stay with me

Will I find you all alone

Half-awake with that old stone

What I hold that I regret

Can I keep your heart in thrall

Love may be the lord of all

But it fails, when we forget

I only wish I had done something

Or that the world was fair

This bitter lullaby I sing

A flower in my hair

A flower in my hair

A heart I held in thrall

A dream I used to share

When love was lord of all
