[Verse 1]

She tied a rope around your neck

And led you through the town

With love that’s like the gallows

Strung, but she’ll never cut you down

[Verse 2]

When you left, the Sun went out

Walk in fields of grey

And I will wear my feather crown

Turn the night to day

[Verse 3]

You said my name, but the devil came

With her black eyes and paper cut smile

You said, "My love, has it been so long?

Won’t you stay a little while?"

[Verse 4]

I said, "No chance, the devil won’t dance

Or run with the wolves in the wild

I’ve had my fill, my way with your will

Leave me here, leave me here,"

[Chorus 1]

"To sleep like a child

To sleep like a child

To sleep like a child

To sleep like a child

To sleep like a child."

[Bridge]

You asked me silently, to keep your secrets close to me

You asked me silently, to keep your secrets close to me

[Chorus 2]

To sleep like a child

To sleep like a child
