all the men that i love can never sleep
they stay up with their demons like they’re tending sheep
moaning like wind whipping the hills
rattling bones against a bottle of pills
i tried to stay awake so i could referee
but eyelids get so heavy when you lecture me
the natural world, the state of your art
baby open your mouth, i want to jump in your heart
love me tonight
under the velvety light
of a moon that knows better
than asking me whether it’s right
all the women i’m afraid of are counting greys
like seconds til the new year of their glory days
carefully concealing their busted parts
trying to keep their eyes off of my circus heart
it’s swollen to the size of a county fair
off the coast of nova scotia, baby meet me there
i’ll be the one in mud boots and braids
biding my time til i hear you say you’ll
love me tonight
under the velvety light
of a moon that knows better
than asking me whether it’s right
to love me tonight
all the men that i love can never sleep
they tell me over coffee that it’s bittersweet
keeping the hours of scoundrels and mice
baby relax, let’s do this right
love me tonight
under the velvety light
of a moon that knows better
than asking me whether it’s right
to love me tonight
love me tonight
love me tonight
