Gentlemen & Scholars The Record The Keepsake And The Thief Lyrics

I'll lay you down to bed
so you don't have to fret
your pretty little head. your pretty little
i'll lay you down to sleep
so i don't have to keep wondering
wonder
what if this is true?
what if our hero has found you?
the hero whispers quietly
all of us to sleep
all of us but one
all of us
and the hero whispers quietly

and the hero whispers violently
'oh mother, i'm sorry. oh'
and the hero whispers violently
'oh my God, what have i done?
oh, Mama the only one'

baby, just hold on
i know there must be someone
hold your keepsake close
i know the thief is on her toes
but the record shows
the record shows
the hero whispers quietly
all of us to sleep
all of us but two all of us
and the hero whispers quietly

the record, the keepsake, the thief
take just what you want not from me

the mother whispers quietly
all of us to sleep
all of us but three
all of us
and the hero whispers quietly

and the mother whispers violently
'oh daughter, i'm sorry. oh'
and the mother whispers violently
'oh my God, what have i done?
oh, daughter, the only one'

the hero whispers quietly
none of us to sleep
none of us at all
none of us
and the hero whispers quietly

and the hero whispers violently
'f*ck you, i'm not sorry. oh'
and the hero whispers violently
'oh my God, what have i done?
f*ck you, i'm the only one'
