Goodnight, Sweet Ladies

[Verse 1: Lead Vocals]
Goodnight, sweet ladies
Goodnight, sweet friends
You lie but sleeping
Someday we will meet
Again, sweet ladies
Goodnight, sweet friends
You lie but sleeping
Someday we will meet
Again

[Chorus: Lead Vocals]
With rosemary green and bright
You’re not forgotten, eternal night
Can’t fade your memory, dim your light
You’ve made a difference, you’ve won your fight

[Verse 2: Lead Vocals]
We lift our branches, and though we weep
No death could conquer you, only sleep
Goodnight, sweet ladies
Goodnight, sweet friends
You lie but sleeping
Someday we will meet

[Verse 1: Lead Vocals]
Goodnight, sweet ladies (again)
Goodnight, sweet friends
You lie but sleeping
Someday we will meet
Again, sweet ladies
Goodnight, sweet friends
You lie but sleeping
Someday we will meet
Again

[Chorus: Lead Vocals]
With rosemary green and bright
You’re not forgotten, eternal night
Can’t fade your memory, dim your light
You’ve made a difference, you’ve won your fight

[Verse 2: Lead Vocals]
We lift our branches, and though we weep
No death could conquer, you only sleep
Goodnight, sweet ladies
Goodnight, sweet friends
You lie but sleeping
Someday we will meet

[Outro: Lead Vocals & Primary Backup Vocals & Secondary Backup Vocals]
Let no voice falter, let die no flame (again)
Let all remember your every name
Let faces turn to the starry sky
Let songs be sung ’til our throats are dry
Let no voice falter, let die no flame (die no flame)
Let all remember your every name (every name)
Let faces turn to the starry sky (ah-ah-ah)
Let songs be sung ’til our throats are dry (’til our throats are dry)
Dry
Dry
Four o'clock (dry)
Four o'clock (dry)
Never let me sleep (dry, dry)
The art of suicide (four o'clock)
Nightgowns and hair (four o'clock)
Curls flying every which way (never let me sleep)
If I burn, you will see (I close my eyes and pray to the garish light of day) (the pain too pure to hide, bridges of sighs)
The fire in your mind when you sleep (like a frightened child I run from the sleep that never comes) (meant to conceal lovers' lies)
Under the arches of moonlight and sky (I close my eyes and pray for the garish light of day)
Like a frightened child, I run
From the sleep that never comes
Under the arches of moonlight and sky
