Mom, I´ll take you out when this is over
One day, we´re going to laugh about it all
I´m in a room that sees no daylight, only hours
Where the men who have no rhythm took my soul
I need someone to know
Thank you for the flashlight that you sent me
On weeknights every light goes out at ten
I try to read another chapter before I fall asleep
While I wait for dreams to waken me again
Sleeping in the light of a friend
Edie found that house with three big bedrooms
She met a man that didn´t go away
They all came by and dropped off my possessions in a bag
While our kids were told to wait outside the gates
What was there left for me to say?
Mom, I´ll treat you right when this is over
You´re the only one who knows who I could be
I couldn´t hold the knife, no I don’t believe you’re dead
So set the record straight, and let them see
I was sleeping in the light of friend
I was sleeping in the light of friend
Sleeping in the light of a friend
