Soldier asked my name into

the I come here very often

And further she was

asking me to dance

In my holy coat and hat

And him in his red bonnet

We'd have made

a lovely couple but

We never had the chance

Now you say that

you've gotta go

Well if you must you must

I suppose that

you need the

sleep of the just

Well it was a powerful day

And there were

black crows in the road

And I kept my strong

opinions to my chest

I suppose I should

have told them that

I was on fire for you

When the bus burst into

flames outside some place

The Poet's Rest'

Now you say

you've gotta go

Well if you must you must

I suppose that you

need the sleep of the just

A girl woke up

in a naked light

And said Oh no not again

He even looked

like her brother

in the army but

She never mentions him

He'll be tucked up

in his bed tonight

With his dirty pictures girl

Saying You're

some mother's daughter

You know or is it

Immaterial girl

Now she's pinned up upon

The barracks wall

in her home town

All the soldiers taking

turns with their attentions

And as they speculate what

She'd look like beneath

that thin nightgown

His family pride

was rising up as

He cast his eyes down

Now you say that

you've gotta go

If you must you must

I suppose that you

need the sleep of the just
