lirik lagu the sheets – lumer
the sheets smelt of her name
as i lay in awe of her memory
a girl so beautiful and wise
she couldn’t hurt a fly, god knows why
but she wouldn’t have to try to hurt mine
she won’t sing a lullaby this time
i’m walking down
i’m walking down
walking down an unlit street
oh god, oh no, who’s that deadbeat?
i think of her as a decaying memory
lay dead upon the street of misfortune
yeah that smile is worth a dying embrace
and yeah when she smiles just for the while
the children sing in style, they dial her up
can they sing a lullaby like mine?
i’m walking down
i’m walking down
walking down an unlit street
oh god oh no, who’s that deadbeat?
can she live without that man?
i don’t think she’ll understand
that i’m pining for her now
sometimes, i cry out
sometimes, i hear her words of dissatisfaction comforting me
terror lifted me to shame
must have slept an endless day
i dreamt of her in the final throw
she’ll never sing a lullaby tonight
i’m walking down
i’m walking down
walking down an unlit street
oh god oh no, who’s that deadbeat?
can she live without that man?
i don’t think she’ll understand
that i’m pining for her now
sometimes, i cry out
sometimes, i hear her words of dissatisfaction comforting me
the sheets smelt of her name
as i lay dead upon the street
