Emily Jane White – Sleeping Dead lyrics
Hang on, hang on, hang on……

I saw a flash in the night

Knocked me out alright

Hang on, hang on, hang on…

I saw a flash in the night

Shot me down alright…

I had a dream last night

I had a dream last night

I had a dream last night

That there were ravens above my bed

And they took my newlywed

Cause we're all sleeping dead

Hangin' onto your sleepy bed

Oh I'd rather be dreamin' instead

Cause we're all sleeping dead

Hangin' onto your sleepy bed

Oh, I'd rather be dreamin' instead

Hang on, hang on, hang on…..

I saw a flash in the night

Shot me down alright

Hang on, hang on, hang on…..

I saw a flash in the night

Knocked me out alright…

I had a dream last night

I had a dream last night

I had a dream last night

That there were ravens above my bed

And they took my newlywed

Mother won't you please bury me alive

Down in the coffin, with my wife?

Mother won't you please bury me alive

Down in the coffin with my wife?

Mother won't you please bury me a live

Down in the coffin with my wife

Cause there were ravens above my bed

And they took my newlywed

Cause we're all sleeping dead

Hangin' onto your sleepy bed

Oh I'd rather be dreamin' instead

Cause we're all sleeping dead

Hangin' onto your sleepy bed

Oh, I'd rather be dreamin' instead

Oh I'd rather, be dreamin' instead

Oh I'd rather, be dreamin' instead
