Don't Go to Sleep, Don't Ever Dream

from Clawhammer by Bannerman

/

lyrics

On the road to see your family
Something was behind us, stalking behind us
All around, the scrub was dying
There was nothing we could see
No creature we could see
It was Christmas and we had savings
From days in the fields
From selling homemade sweets
Every year, your Mother failing
Father’s back had gone
Their overgrown home

Don’t go to sleep
Don’t ever dream

I was tired, you were yawning
We stopped for the night and built a roaring fire
Only faintly, the weeping started
It came from behind us, rising behind us (we shivered in the heat)
As the weeping grew alarming
You turned to me and cried
Now it’s just you and I
On the road to see your family
We learnt your parents died
While hoping we’d arrive
