music and lyrics by Mike Pettry

performed by Matt Hinkley

from Mike Pettry and Friends: Songs That Aren't Lame, live at The Duplex 11-3-09

lyrics:
I WENT TO THE STORE
AND GOT YOU YOUR FAVORITE.
CHOCOLATE CAKE.
ID SAY TO SAVE SOME FOR ME
BUT ILL BE GONE
BY THE TIME YOURE AWAKE.

IT ISNT YOUR FAULT,
BUT I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW
YOUR DAD IS KIND OF A MESS.
DONT BLAME YOUR MOM,
I JUST NEED TO TIME.
ITS NOTHING THAT YOU SHOULD
OBSESS OVER,
OBSESS OVER,
OBSESS OVER.

SO SLEEP, SLEEP
SLEEP, MY BOY
AND DREAM OF WHEN I COME HOME.
SLEEP, SLEEP
WHILE DADDYS AWAY
SOME DAY HES GONNA COME HOME.

ILL KEEP YOU FREE FROM SORROW
ILL KEEP YOU FREE FROM FEAR
YOU MIGHT NOT SEE ME OUTSIDE OF YOUR DREAMS,
BUT ILL BE RIGHT HERE.
RIGHT HERE.

SOMETIMES A MAN
JUST ISNT A MAN
AND LEAVINGS THE BEST THING TO DO.
YOU LOOK JUST LIKE ME.
MY BLOODS IN YOUR VEINS.
MAYBE ONE DAY YOULL RUN AWAY TOO.

BUT UNTIL THEN,
JUST SLEEP, SLEEP
SLEEP, MY BOY
AND DREAM OF WHEN I COME HOME.
SLEEP, SLEEP
WHILE DADDYS AWAY
SOME DAY HES GONNA COME HOME.

SLEEP,
SLEEP, MY BOY
AND DREAM OF WHEN I COME HOME.
SLEEP,
WHILE DADDYS AWAY
SOME DAY HES GONNA COME HOME.

IT MAY NOT BE TOMORROW
IT MAY NOT BE TIL NEXT YEAR
BUT WHEN YOU SLEEP,
ILL BE RIGHT HERE.
ILL BE RIGHT HERE.
