Crooked Still Did You Sleep Well? lyrics

“Good mornin', my darlin',” I said from the door.
My bags are all packed, you won't see me anymore.
The room, it was empty, except for your clothes
and a picture of the forest through the dimly lit smoke.
Did you sleep well? Did you sleep fine?
Did you sleep much at all?
All night I heard two voices from out here in the hall.
The first one was lonesome and the second one was clear.
The first one was familiar as the second drew near.
She walked to the window to expose the light.
Her breath hung in silence like the fog in the night.
The sun raised its head from behind the frost.
She sat down by the stove with her long legs crossed.
Did you sleep well? Did you sleep fine?
Did you sleep much at all?
All night I heard two voices from out here in the hall.
The first one was ancient but the second was a gun.
The first one was laughin' before the second was done.
She drew up her eyes and then turned my way.
Her mouth, it was movin', but the words tried to stay.
Her posture was thin and her tears, they were tall
like the picture of the forest in the fire in the hall.
Did you sleep well? Did you sleep fine?
Did you sleep much at all?
All night I heard two voices from out here in the hall.
The first, it was singing and the second, dressed in red.
The first one was hungry and the second was well fed.



My struggles were hard and my journey was long.
My food was your beauty and my water, your song.
I returned for your voice and your precious melody.
I heard them both, but you sang not for me.
Did you sleep well? Did you sleep fine?
Did you sleep much at all?
All night I heard two voices from out here in the hall.
The first was a flower and the second was a train.
The first issued warning and the second brought the rain.


Day is breaking, it's time for me to leave.
Each breath I'm taking reminds me to grieve.
You've proven false, but another will be true,
walking tall in the darkness the whole night through.
Will you sleep well? Will you sleep fine?
Will you sleep much at all?
All night you'll hear two voices from out there in the hall.
The first will be a mirror and the second one, a dove.
The first will be an echo and the second, silent love.
Will you sleep well? Will you sleep fine?
Will you sleep much at all?
All night you'll hear two voices from out there in the hall.
The first will be a mirror and the second one, a dove.
The first will be an echo and the second, silent love.
