Let These Stories Sleep

from The Heart Collector by Adam Levy

/

lyrics

Take the guitar off of your knee and settle up your keep
There's no more need to hide behind a box of wood and silver twine
Close the case and shut the light and let these stories sleep

Happy endings, tear-jerk tales, dredged up from the deep
You raised them with your calloused hands, then wrung them dry before the band
Now close the case and shut the light and let these stories sleep

You’re the shepherd of the flock, tender are the sheep
They'll never know how they got here—plucked from dreams and soaked in beer
Now close the case and shut the light and let these stories sleep
Close the case and shut the light and let these stories sleep
