Did You Sleep Well?

Crooked Still

Composed by: Nathan Taylor
"Good mornin', my darlin'," 
I said from the door 
My bags are all packed, 
you won't see me anymore. 
The room it was empty except 
for your clothes 
And a picture 
of the forest through 
the dimly lit smoke 

Did you sleep well? 
Did you sleep fine? 
Did you sleep much at all? 
All night I heard two voices 
from out here in the hall 
The first one was lonesome 
and the second one was clear 
The first one was familiar 
as the second drew near 

She walked to the window 
to expose the light 
Her breath hung in silence 
like the fog in the night 
The sun raised its head 
from behind the frost 
She sat down 
by the stove with her 
long legs crossed 

Did you sleep well? 
Did you sleep fine? 
Did you sleep much at all? 
All night I heard two voices 
from out here in the hall 
The first one was ancient 
but the second was a gun 
The first one was laughin' 
before the second was done 

She drew up her eyes 
and then turned my way 
Her mouth it was movin' 
but the words tried to stay 
Her posture was thin 
and her tears they were tall 
Like the picture 
of the forest in the fire 
in the hall 

Did you sleep well? 
Did you sleep fine? 
Did you sleep much at all? 
All night I heard two voices 
from out here in the hall 
The first it was singing 
and the second dressed in red 
The first one was hungry 
and the second was well fed 

My struggles were hard 
and my journey was long 
My food was your beauty 
and my water your song 
I returned for your voice 
and your precious melody 
I heard them both 
but you sang not for me 

Did you sleep well? 
Did you sleep fine? 
Did you sleep much at all? 
All night I heard two voices 
from out here in the hall 
The first was a flower 
and the second was a train 
The first issued warning 
and the second brought the rain 

Day is breaking, 
it's time for me to leave 
Each breath 
I'm taking reminds me to grieve 
You've proven false 
but another will be true 
Walking tall in the darkness 
the whole night through 

Will you sleep well? 
Will you sleep fine? 
Will you sleep much at all? 
All night 
you'll hear two voices 
from out there in the hall 
The first will be a mirror 
and the second one a dove 
The first will be an echo 
and the second silent love 

Will you sleep well? 
Will you sleep fine? 
Will you sleep much at all? 
All night 
you'll hear two voices 
from out there in the hall 
The first will be a mirror 
and the second one a dove 
The first will be an echo 
and the second silent love
