May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
You're just like a great and strong brother of mine
And you know that I love you true
You never talk dirty behind my back -
And I know that there's those that do
Please won't you please won't you bear it in mind
Love is a lesson to learn in our time
Please won't you please won't you bear it in mind for me
May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
You're just like a good and close sister to me
and you know that I love you true
You hold no blade to stab me in my back
And I know that there's those that do
Please won't you please won't you bear it in mind
Love is a lesson to learn in our time
Please won't you please won't you bear it in mind for me
May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
Well you're just like a great and strong brother of mine
And you know that I love like I should
You never talk about me behind my back
And I know that there's times you could
Please won't you please, please bear it in mind
Life is a lesson to learn in our time
Won't you please won't you bear it in mind for me
May you never lose your temper
If you get hit in a bar room fight
May you never lose your woman over night
May you never lay you head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
Please won't you please, please won't you bear it in mind
Life is a lesson to learn in our time
Won't you please won't you bear it in mind for meWell it was one of those great stories
that you can't put down at night
the hero knew what he had to do
and he wasn't afraid to fight
the villain goes to jail, while the hero goes free
I wish it were that simple for me.
And the reason that she loved him
was the reason I loved him too
and he never wondered what was right or wrong
he just knew - he just knew.
Shadows and shape mixed together at dawn
but by time you catch them simplicity's gone
and so we sort through the pieces
my friends and I
searching through the darkness to find
the breaks in the sky.
And the reason that she loved him
was the reason I loved him too
and he never wondered what was right or wrong
he just knew - he just knew.
And we wonder, yes we wonder
how do you make sense of this
when the hero kills the maiden
with his kiss - with his kiss.
Well it was one of those great stories
that you can't put down at night
the hero knew what he had to do
and he wasn't afraid to fight
the villain goes to jail, while the hero goes free
I wish it were that simple for me
- if it were that simple for me.
