Sweet Widow Songtext
von Spin Doctors

Jeopard through the onyx shadow
Starlight glance upon the waving reed
Rest you soft my weeping widow
With your news of grave defeat
Willow shafts are we each fractured
′Neath your head and razor hand
Bargain hand a mangled letter
And the news it grows again

Sleep, oh sleep
Lay down your head and
Sleep, oh sleep
Lay down your head and


Across these fields of amber grain
Night by night we reach the dawn
You whispered that your vows to him
Crushed as the shafts we played upon
But did give the news that noon would come
War's a cruel and clever thief
Devised this cunning tragedy
Still you for me to love sweet grief

Sleep, oh sleep
Lay down your head and
Sleep, oh sleep
Lay down your head and

Across these fields of amber grain
Night by night we reach the dawn
You whispered that your vows to him
Crushed as the shafts we played upon
But did give the news that noon would come
War′s a cruel and clever thief
Devised this cunning tragedy
Still you for me to love sweet grief

Sleep, oh sleep
Lay down your head and
Sleep, oh sleep
Lay down your head and


Alright people, they're recording the whole show tonight. So if you
If you wanna hear your voice on it, you gotta
Keep screaming all night long. 'Cause you never
Know what part they′re gonna put on the record
