Sometymes Why - The Sound Asleep lyrics

I hear the sound asleep
I hear the moonlight creep
Earth turning away from the heat
Now that you've counted all the sheep
And you're dreaming deep
I hear the sound asleep

Last night's tea still loudly steeps
I hear the fish breathe in the creek
Hear yesterday's rain into the garden seeping
I hear the sound asleep so low, so deep
It makes no peep

And have you ever been to the dog races
(dog races)
Seen the metal rabbit at the dog races
(dog races)
Run around in circles, never going places
(going places)
My grandaddy lived for the dog races
(dog races)

And he was up, he'd stay
If he got down, he'd head on home
That's when they let you leave
That's when you leave is everything

For now, this world it's got you deep
Roll back down that hill, so steep
Roll into the arms, asleep

Oh, the sight of your heartbeat
It touches sweet, clean sheets
The sound asleep, sweet sleep
Now one to toss, the grey light creeps
I still hear the sound asleep
I hear the sound asleep
I hear the sound asleep
(the sound asleep, the sound asleep)

I hear the sound asleep
(the sound asleep, the sound asleep)
I hear the sound asleep
(the sound asleep, the sound asleep)
I hear the sound asleep
(the sound asleep, the sound asleep)
