Do you realize I'm clinging to
The edge of this bed I have
Nowhere to go--I have nowhere
If I leave you'll call me quitter
If I stay you'll punish me with silence and somehow
You'll fall asleep... You'll fall asleep
[Chorus:]
Well do you know that I won't sleep--No I won't sleep all night
Long
As your silhouette turns it's back on my spoon
I'm mesmerized by the ricochet moon
Leaping this leprechaun's ["Rumplestiltskin's" in next chorus] wall
I'm so disenchanting
Intoxicated by my own tear's soul
And come tomorrow
When my beauty is old
Like a speckled princess
I'll try to cash in clovers for gold
So I'll light a candle and begin to
Write, turn to my work as refuge
Though my womb is a rush hour taxi
Ride, but I will try
To metamorphose pain along my plight
But I'll despise each word I write
So I am clinging to the
Edge like some soap-opera star
With her ten second fade
As the light cascades
Do you love me anymore?
[Chorus:]
I'll try to spin straw into gold
Straw into gold... Straw into gold... Straw into gold
Spinning for mercy
Spinning for hope
Spinning for love
Spinning for gold
I wonder if you sleep right now Do you realize I'm clinging to The edge of this bed I have Nowhere to go--I have nowhere If I leave you'll call me quitter If I stay you'll punish me with silence and somehow You'll fall asleep... You'll fall asleep [Chorus:] Well do you know that I won't sleep--No I won't sleep all night Long As your silhouette turns it's back on my spoon I'm mesmerized by the ricochet moon Leaping this leprechaun's ["Rumplestiltskin's" in next chorus] wall I'm so disenchanting Intoxicated by my own tear's soul And come tomorrow When my beauty is old Like a speckled princess I'll try to cash in clovers for gold So I'll light a candle and begin to Write, turn to my work as refuge Though my womb is a rush hour taxi Ride, but I will try To metamorphose pain along my plight But I'll despise each word I write So I am clinging to the Edge like some soap-opera star With her ten second fade As the light cascades Do you love me anymore? [Chorus:] I'll try to spin straw into gold Straw into gold... Straw into gold... Straw into gold Spinning for mercy Spinning for hope Spinning for love Spinning for gold Explain Request ×
