Meriwether Lyrics
"Putting To Sleep A Lion"

If you could go away.
If you could fall asleep without me.
If you could dream of love, and not dream of me.
Then I will try to explain myself to you that I can't fall asleep or dream without you.
So I will conversant with myself and you won't be around to see me leave.

If you could fly away.
If you could spread your wings without me.
If god has plans for you, then would I include?
So I will try to explain myself to you that I can't fall asleep or dream without you.
So I will conversant with myself and you won't be around to see me leave.

We put to sleep this lion.
You closed your eyes and died again. (x 2)

If you could go away.
If you could fall asleep without me.
If you could dream of love, and not dream of me.

We put to sleep this lion.
You closed your eyes and died again.
You've got this empty feeling that rocks the neck to bone.

We put to sleep this lion, without me.
If you could dream of love, and not dream of me.
