I'm running away from the city
Away from the power lines and the neon signs
And the grand designs of people who don't know
They're only itty bitty in the grand scheme of things
I sink my toes in
A quiet lake that no one goes in
The afternoon I'm spending on the river
I've met a loon, and I'm floating with her
The lily-pads and reeds are whispering underneath
The bow of my canoe
Everything is beauty as the world is singing to me
But all I see is you
It's hard for me to sleep
Without you with me
But I feel you in the deepest waves as they're keeping time
So as the music starts to sweep in
I get my balance steady
Somewhere, you're dancing too
So I dance with you
And I think I'll sleep just fine
Fine tonight
I think I'll sleep just fine
The sleeping bag is comfortable
But it would be more so if it were tightly pulled
Over you and me and we had all we'd ever need
And there was nowhere else to go
It's hard for me to sleep
Without you near me
But I can feel you in the deepest grooves of my smile lines
So I'm laughing underneath
And I know you hear me
'Cause somewhere, you're laughing too
So I laugh with you
And I think I'll sleep just fine
Fine tonight
I think I'll sleep just fine tonight
There's soot marks on my sweater
As the coals start dying down
And separate, but together
We both lay down
And it smells so damn divine
Like smoke and cedar
So I sink deeper into the passing time
And the stars align and I know you're mine
So I think I'll sleep just fine
Fine tonight
I think I'll sleep just fine tonight
I think I'll sleep just fine... etc.
