Lyrics The Handsome Family

The Handsome Family

No One Fell Asleep Alone

I saw a deer limp across

A supermarket parking lot

Last night as I drove home from work

Old men sleeping in the dirt

Abandoned buildings full of smoke

Children jumping from the roof

Cars in ditches leaking blood

Rivers full of drowning bugs

But as the sun fell between

The leaning buildings and the street

The moment came 'tween day and night

Painted soft in golden light

The crooked street shining gold

And no one fell asleep alone

No one fell asleep alone

No one fell asleep alone
