Cursed Sleep Lyrics - Singles - Bonnie Prince Billy

I slept sweetly unpretending 

That the night was always ending 

She breathed lightly right next to me 

And I dreamed of her inside of me 

And in my dream she sang so sweetly 

A melody I hope to sing 

So enslaved by her sweet wonder 

It cut my legs and fingered hunger 

She sang my name and so engulfed 

I cried and felt my legs fail 

In her arms I trembled electric 

Oh and she let me and she held me 

Then waking she was older still 

And holds my love against its will 

In spell cast with her palms extended 

Cursed love is never ending 

Cursed eyes are never closing 

Cursed arm are never closing 

Cursed children never rising 

And cursed me never despising 

Oh I am loving always holding 

While she sleeps her song enfolding 

Epic song it tells of how 

She and I are living now 

Dawn: cursed love (repeat)
