one of my first tunes. This one of about 10 versions. At one point there were that many verses.

lyrics

Sleep Late Maria

The artists are restless
they need a new scene
the businessmen changed
all the locks on their dreams
the theme park is open
the soldiers are out of a war
so sleep late Maria
you don't have to fight anymore

It's cold in the East
where the dead cannot rest
the promised land's crowded
and cracked in the West
i'm stuck in the praries
as empty as i've every been
i gave you my heart
and i'm still finding out what that means

When the last show was over it felt like a sin
we're just looking for cover til the next one begins
we make enough to move on with
but it feels like we're falling apart

We're trying so hard to get on with the show
but like Gypsies we're hated wherever we go
and i know we'd surrender it all
if we knew where to start

I'm writing you now
from this little cafe
we're in town for the night
then we're back on our way
to the road that we long for
the road we were all born to roam
so sleep late Maria
i don't know when i'm coming home
