I Sleep Alone (So long By and By)

from Aquarian Demos (Foundation Tapes) Vol​.​1 by Brother 12

/

lyrics

I sleep alone above the stone and its gettin' cold
where i once had a girl who kept me warm but its hard to run with the weight of gold
i layed her down in her wedding gown amongst the garbage and the sewer
with the bible soaked in wine our lips stained and eyes fixed on the tallest tower
I know That I loved Her
and I'll Try to Live Without her
because it hurts
and how can it be so hard
and how can it take so long
to live alone?
we lived by the water where the fishers and the sailors would all stop and say good-bye
and smell the salt in the air on the rocks on the river as the days would pass us by
so long by and by
we forgot about the substance and shadows and comfort that would tear us apart
where we walked through the forest and slept in the attic of a home warmed by fire.
I sleep Alone
shes been away so long
it hardly matters anymore
how can it be so hard
to live alone
