lyrics

When I set this world ablaze,
will you dare to walk beside me
through flame and pain?
As I hide in fields of rain
would you dare to sleep beside me
gun in hand?
I’m not quite sure anymore,
I’m not quite sure what this is for…

Sleep tight tonight, home alone,
(You are all the world to me)
Sleep tight tonight, all alone,
(You are all the world to me)
Sleep tight tonight, all alone.

If I leave these words in your hands,
could you carry all their weight
upon your fragile shoulders?
Would you try to understand
that what I do, I do for you,
You are my home…
I am so tired of Black and Tans,
I am so tired, could you understand?

Sleep tight tonight, home alone,
(You are all the world to me)
Sleep tight tonight, all alone,
(You are all the world to me)
Sleep tight tonight, home alone,
(You are all the world to me)
Sleep tight tonight, all alone.

I see you walk
alone
in the dark,
I must have dreamt you.
…And I am so tired of Black and Tans,
I am so tired, could you understand?

Sleep tight tonight, home alone,
(You are all the world to me)
Sleep tight tonight, all alone,
(You are all the world to me)
Sleep tight tonight, home alone,
(You are all the world to me)
Sleep tight tonight, all alone…
All alone…
