If You Stay Sober

If you stay sober,

I'll put the kettle on.

And you can come over,

Drink tea, and watch the lawn,

And I'll lay you down.

I'll lay you down

As the lights come on in town

When day is over.

I wanted to die for two days in '95.95

I stood by the lakeside

And waited for the mood to be right.

As all leaves turning brown,

I listened to the sounds

Starting to announce October.

I'll lay you down,

You can empty out your mouth,

And I'll arrange the room again

When everything is over.
