The Sound Asleep Lyrics by Sometymes Why

Your Heart Is a Glorious Machine

2009

[Verse 1- Kristin Andreassen, Aoife O'Donovan & Ruth Ungar Merenda, Kristin Andreassen, Aoife O'Donovan, & Ruth Ungar Merenda]
I hear the sound asleep
I hear the moonlight creep
Earth turning away from the heat
Now that you've counted all the sheep
And you're dreaming deep
I hear the sound asleep
[Verse 2- Kristin Andreassen, Aoife O'Donovan & Ruth Ungar Merenda, Kristin Andreassen, Aoife O'Donovan, & Ruth Ungar Merenda]
Last night's tea still loudly steeps
I hear the fish breathe in the creek
Hear yesterday's rain into the garden seeping
I hear the sound asleep
So low, so deep
It makes no peep
[Verse 3- Kristin Andreassen, Aoife O'Donovan & Ruth Ungar Merenda, Kristin Andreassen, Aoife O'Donovan, & Ruth Ungar Merenda]
And have you ever been to the dog races (dog races)
Seen the metal rabbit at the dog races (dog races)
Run around in circles, never going places (going places)
My grandaddy lived for the dog races (dog races)
[Verse 4- Kristin Andreassen, Aoife O'Donovan & Ruth Ungar Merenda, Kristin Andreassen, Aoife O'Donovan, & Ruth Ungar Merenda]
And he was up, he'd stay
If he got down, he'd head on home
That's when they let you leave
That's when you leave is when you lose (when you lose everything)
[Verse 5- Kristin Andreassen, Aoife O'Donovan & Ruth Ungar Merenda, Kristin Andreassen, Aoife O'Donovan, & Ruth Ungar Merenda]
For now, this world
It's got you deep
Roll back down that hill, so steep
Roll into the arms, asleep
[Verse 6- Kristin Andreassen, Aoife O'Donovan & Ruth Ungar Merenda, Kristin Andreassen, Aoife O'Donovan, & Ruth Ungar Merenda]
Oh, the sight of your heartbeat
It touches sweet, clean sheets
The sound asleep, sweet sleep
Now one to toss, the grey light creeps
I still hear the sound asleep
I hear the sound asleep
I hear the sound asleep (the sound asleep, the sound asleep)
I hear the sound asleep (the sound asleep, the sound asleep)
I hear the sound asleep (the sound asleep, the sound asleep)
I hear the sound asleep (the sound asleep, the sound asleep)
