lyrics
She sleeps by herself
every single night
Whether she’s happy
Happy or sad
Don’t send your army
to camp beneath her sheets
She wants to sleep alone
She sleeps alone ´cause she’s tired
Tired of trying, tired of running
When she knows, she’s aware
That there’s only one thing that can
wake her
and make her
Step out of the rain
and into the rain again
Kneel by the stream
and again begin to dream
Sometimes she feels
She’s already gone
But don’t send your soldiers
to brush off her snow
And slow down your horses
Unless they grow wings
She’s blowing in the wind
She sleeps alone ´cause she’s tired
Tired of trying, tired of running
When she knows she’s aware
That only the archer king can wake her
And make her
Step out of the rain
and into the rain again
Kneel by the stream
and again begin to dream
(Only the archer king)
Out of the rain
Into the rain again
Kneel by the stream
Again begin to dream
of those pink
plastic shoes
every single night
Whether she’s happy
Happy or sad
Don’t send your army
to camp beneath her sheets
She wants to sleep alone
She sleeps alone ´cause she’s tired
Tired of trying, tired of running
When she knows, she’s aware
That there’s only one thing that can
wake her
and make her
Step out of the rain
and into the rain again
Kneel by the stream
and again begin to dream
Sometimes she feels
She’s already gone
But don’t send your soldiers
to brush off her snow
And slow down your horses
Unless they grow wings
She’s blowing in the wind
She sleeps alone ´cause she’s tired
Tired of trying, tired of running
When she knows she’s aware
That only the archer king can wake her
And make her
Step out of the rain
and into the rain again
Kneel by the stream
and again begin to dream
(Only the archer king)
Out of the rain
Into the rain again
Kneel by the stream
Again begin to dream
of those pink
plastic shoes
