I've Been Asleep For A Long, Long Time

I've been asleep for a long, long time

Blond hair to brown and then brown to white

My ma is buried beside my dad

But I was asleep for all of that

I shut my eyes for a moment's rest

'Cause I get so tired

What thing transpired while my body slept?

Beset my mind

All the schools that I went to have all been closed

And all of my teachers are dead I suppose

The songs that we sung have all gone quiet

What happens below as you sleep at night?

I shut my eyes for a moment's rest

'Cause I get so tired

What things transpired while my body slept?

Beset my mind

The river's up, the reeds are caught

Halfway across what never was

The water rose and swept in slow

When the reeds awoke they were half below

I've been asleep for a long, long time

Blond hair to brown and then brown to white

My ma is buried beside my dad

But I was asleep for all of that

I've been asleep for a long, long time

Blond hair to brown and brown to white

My ma is buried beside my dad

But I was asleep for all of that

For all of that
