《Plea for a Good Night’s Rest》歌词

[00:00:00] Plea for a Good Night's Rest - Devon Sproule

[00:00:13] There are thick stars up above

[00:00:17] Where the trees part themselves

[00:00:22] Thick dust among many

[00:00:25] Corks lined up on the shelf

[00:00:28] There are bats in the attic we share

[00:00:34] We share

[00:00:42] There is smoke to kill mosquitoes

[00:00:46] Waiting just above to drink our blood

[00:00:50] And gas in the lamp that we light

[00:00:52] When the sun goes down

[00:00:55] My love wakes shaking with nightmare

[00:01:02] And the night air pulls in close around

[00:01:10] Come revenant come come ye gentle host

[00:01:17] To my patient hip and across our sleeping coasts

[00:01:54] Rest your arms down around your oars now

[00:01:59] And hear how the night continues on alive and well

[00:02:21] Saying

[00:02:22] Sleep she comes to steal the ones who

[00:02:26] Fill their glass and leave the rest

[00:02:29] Whose teeth get brushed who eat enough

[00:02:32] And who know how to treat their friends

[00:02:37] How long this night seems with

[00:02:42] No sign of a bright dream to guide us toward the day

[00:02:56] Guide us toward the day

[00:03:04] Come revenant come come ye gentle host

[00:03:10] To my patient hip and across our sleeping coasts

[00:03:18] Lay down your mantle shot through with gold

[00:03:24] That we may lie again here in sweet repose

[00:03:32] In sweet
