Weep Themselves To Sleep

Album: Blunderbuss (2012)

  • No one can blow the shows
    Or throw the bones that break your nose like I can
    But the men that fall so deep
    In love they start to weep themselves to sleep can

    And men who fight the world
    And love the girls that try to hold their hands behind them
    They won't be left behind
    By time or any rules that try to bind them

    Oh
    Nobody knows just how it goes
    To show that the villain will play the victim
    The tame can't shake the reins of
    Demonizing brains that mean to kill them

    And men who fight the world
    And love the girls that try to hold their hands behind them
    They won't be left behind
    By time or any rules that try to bind them

    (Woah)

    And men who fight the world
    And love the girls that try to hold their hands behind them
    They won't be left behind
    By time or any rules that try to bind them Writer/s: Jack White
