James Marsters Let Me Rest In Peace Lyrics

Let Me Rest In Peace lyrics

SPIKE:
I died
So many years ago
But you can make me feel
Like it isn't so
And why you come to be with me
I think I finally know
Mhhh

You're scared
Ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
Whisper in a dead man's ear,
That doesn't make him real

That's great -
But I don't wanna play
'cause being with you touches me
More than I can say
But since I'm only dead to you
I'm saying stay away
And let me rest in peace

Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
So let me rest in peace

You know
You got a willing slave
And you just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave
But 'till you do
I'm telling you
Stop visiting my grave
And let me rest in peace

I know I should go
But I follow you like a man possessed
There's a traitor here beneath my breast
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest
But I can see you aren't impressed
So leave me be

And let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
Let me rest in peace
Why won't you let me rest in peace?

(spoken)
So...you're not staying then?
