[Verse 1]
Lay a wreath by the poplar or maple
For the pine and the walnut are gone
Secure your saddle on that old Palomino
And ride 'til the stars seem too fall
[Verse 2]
What do you dream of
When all that you wanted
Is given when the need for it is done?
Like the love of a girl
Who has long been a woman
Long years after you've moved on
[Chorus]
But do sleep well
Ooooh, It's not your fault
[Verse 3]
Was there in the first light in the stillness of morning
When you hear one fragile birdsong
'Cause alone with the truth: that is the worst kind of lonely
The worst kind being alone
[Verse 4]
Still got that old saddle, but it's a new Palomino
And the spark is fading faster than hope
And you think about three words left forever unspoken
That altered the path that you walk
[Chorus]
But do sleep well
Ooooh, It's not your fault
Do sleep well
Ooooh, It's not your fault
Ooooh
