Blues song inspired by Leadbelly's interpretation of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?". Picture it sung in simple 4/4 blues chords and it'll have more poetic value. My sweet, sweet girl gonna rest with me Gonna sleep her sorrow away, How sweet she lies in soft, white arms, No eye for the light of day. Walks 'round the earth with bloodshot eyes, Dreams they grab her head, Strips her mind to keep it in, She's dead, my girl, she's dead... That soft, white moon don't rise or fall, Just hides behind the sun, I run there at my love's sweet call, Get there to find she's gone.... Girl, oh girl, just lay your head, That land I'm gonn' be ain't yours, Don't mind my voice, don't lift an ear, Just sleep 'til the sun's no more... Your laughter breaks my broken mind, Why won't it let me be, Alone, alone, I'm all alone, But the sky that carries me. Someday we'll meet o'er that dark blue sun, The sky wrapped with the sea, Gonna miss your eyes, your soft, white arms, But your smile just torments me...
