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 its back on my spoon
|
I'm mesmerized by the ricochet moon
|
Leaping this leprechaun's <i>["Rumplestiltskin's" in next chorus]</i> 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
|
|

Straw Into Gold
