SLEEPY TOWN - Music and Lyrics by Sferes & White

Sorting washers and bolts at the hardware store
He?ll say it?s enough but deep inside he knows there?s more
There?s a locked room in his quiet house
With a covered canvas where he lets his pain come out
Fields of petals, ocean deep
Stars that burn, hearts that weep
It?s takes all their strength to keep them down
To quiet their dreams, in a sleepy town

CHORUS:
Dreams don?t sleep in a sleepy town
They just bury them deep and hold them down
Bury them deep and hold them down

For twenty years she?s there each time you call
She smiles at her desk but then her eyes reveal it all
Deep in the night the music comes for her
Full of aching questions, but the dancing makes her sure
Turning faster, flying high
Kiss the moon, touch the sky
It?s takes all their strength to keep them down
To quiet their dreams, in a sleepy town

Unlived dreams make us weep
Pull them softly from their sleep
Find your place in the sun
The call of days has just begun

He teaches English down at the middle school
They laugh and they tease him, they think he?s just a fool
Shelves piled high with finished manuscripts
Cause the words transport him to a place beyond his lip
Distant worlds, far away
Tender love, fills the day
It?s takes all their strength to keep them down
To quiet their dreams, in a sleepy town

CHORUS
