Lyrics Bonnie 'Prince' Billy

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy

Cursed Sleep

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
