I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

By Bruce Clifford

I値l sleep when I知 dead
This is what she said
Then she jumped on the boat leaving me behind
Thank god I know this is not her time

I値l sleep when I知 dead
When the sun turns a fiery red
For now she痴 taking pictures and is wide awake
A map of the world is what it takes
I値l sleep when I知 dead

It痴 a mystery how the world spins on in time
Even when I知 fast asleep as the sun comes up she痴 still alive

I値l sleep when I知 dead
This is how she lives her life instead
She doesn稚 need a reason to rest her lovely head
If you ask her why she値l tell you
I値l sleep when I知 dead

I値l sleep when I知 dead
Her heart burns bright instead
Now she痴 taking pictures of memories for all to see
She puts a smile on my face even though I know she hardly sleeps

It痴 a mystery how the world spins on in time
Even when I知 fast asleep as the sun comes up she痴 still alive

I値l sleep when I知 dead
When the sun turns a fiery red
For now she痴 taking pictures of the sea
Wide awake is the state she has to be
I値l sleep when I知 dead
