Lyrics

You came home late from work
Tired of others dishin’ the dirt
And you lay down on the bed and closed your eyes
I sat there with my guitar
Sung you a lullaby from the heart
And watched full of wonder as you drifted away.

Drifted away to a land of dreams
Drifted away with your hopes and schemes
And I played my old six-string as you drifted away.

A little later wrapped in your arms
A willing victim of your charms
Your beauty and your grace warmed my very soul
I thanked the heavens above
For this gift of amazing love
And the music from my fingers as you drifted away.

Drifted away to a land of dreams
Drifted away with your hopes and schemes
And I played my old six-string as you drifted away.

When the walls came crashing in
It was your fingers on my skin
That drove the doubt and darkness from my mind
You chanced to come along
And then I knew where I belonged
Picking a country blues as you drifted away.

Drifted away to a land of dreams
Drifted away with your hopes and schemes
And I played my old six-string as you drifted away.

Sleep well sweetheart.
