Isley Brothers - Ballad for the Fallen Soldier lyrics

No I would not sleep in this bed of lies

So toss me out and turn in

And there’ll be no rest for these tired eyes

I’m marking it down to learning

I am

Don’t think that I can take another empty moment

Don’t think that I can fake another hollow smile

It’s not enough just to be sorry

Don’t think that I could take another talk about it

Just like me you got needs

And they’re only a whisper away

And we softly surrender

To these lives that we’ve tendered away

No I would not sleep in this bed of lies

So toss me out and turn in

And there’ll be no rest for these tired eyes

I’m marking it down to learning

I am

Don’t wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over

Don’t wanna be somewhere where I just don’t belong

Where it’s not enough just be sorry

Don’t you know I feel the darkness closing in

Tried to be more than me

And I gave till it all went away

And we’ve only surrendered

To the worst part of these winters we’ve made

No I would not sleep in this bed of lies

So toss me out and turn in

And there’ll be no rest for these tired eyes

I’m marking it down to learning

I am

I am all that I’ll ever be

When you - lay your hands

Over me but don’t go weak on me now

I know that it’s weak

But God help me I need this

I will not sleep in this bed of lies

So toss me out and turn in

And there’ll be no rest for these tired eyes

I’m marking it down to learning

I’m marking it down to learning

’cause I am
