Perhaps We Can Sleep

After all is said and done

When there's a fable we've agreed upon

Perhaps, perhaps we can sleep

Take the sadness and take the pain

Let it go or it comes again

Perhaps, perhaps we can sleep

Perhaps we can sleep

Perhaps we can dream

Let the body rest

Let the spirit sing

Keep the pressure upon your blood

Let it rise and spill and flood

And perhaps, perhaps we can sleep

When you take a drink, take one more

When we've gone from truce to bloody war

Then perhaps, perhaps we can sleep

Perhaps we can sleep

Perhaps we can dream

Let the angels laugh

Let the devil scream

Perhaps we can sleep

Perhaps we can dream

Let the angels sleep

Let the devil scream

Let me lie beside you now

Without the why or the who or how

And perhaps, perhaps we can sleep

Perhaps, perhaps we can sleep
