I got your message at work

You sounded so hurt

Were there tears in your voice?

I couldn't quite tell for the noise

You said he'd been 'round

And you had to explain

While you sat drinking tea on the porch in the pouring 

rain

And you look tired tonight

Like you might have been cryin'

So put your head on my shoulder, baby

Sleep there till dawn

He gave you the blame

For him messin' up

While you silently swept up the pieces

Of love's broken cup

And you look tired tonight

Like you might've been cryin'

And the pain in your eyes

Isn't finished with dyin'

But I won't even ask

For it soon will be gone

So put your head on my shoulder, baby


Sleep there till dawn

And I know about him

And I know about me

But I wanna find out about you

I said I packed up his stuff

But it's still lyin' here

Now I want to drive out in the night

Where my thoughts can be clear

You said if love is alive

Ah, then sometimes it dies

But I'm not gonna mourn

No, I'm not gonna cry

I said if something can die

It can also be born

So put your head on my shoulder, baby

Sleep there till dawn

Then you pulled me in closer

And you kissed me so long

You laid your sweet head on my shoulder

Slept there till dawn

Put your head on my shoulder, baby

Sleep there till dawn
