I wonder if you sleep right now

Do you realize I'm clinging to

The edge of this bed I have

Nowhere to go--I have nowhere

If I leave you'll call me quitter

If I stay you'll punish me with silence and somehow

You'll fall asleep...You'll fall asleep

[Chorus:]

Well do you know that I won't sleep--No I won't sleep all night

Long

As your silhouette turns its back on my spoon

I'm mesmerized by the ricochet moon

Leaping this leprechaun's ["Rumplestiltskin's" in next chorus] wall

I'm so disenchanting

Intoxicated by my own tear's soul

And come tomorrow

When my beauty is old

Like a speckled princess

I'll try to cash in clovers for gold

So I'll light a candle and begin to

Write, turn to my work as refuge

Though my womb is a rush hour taxi

Ride, but I will try

To metamorphose pain along my plight

But I'll despise each word I write

So I am clinging to the

Edge like some soap-opera star

With her ten second fade

As the light cascades

Do you love me anymore?

[Chorus]

I'll try to spin straw into gold

Straw into gold...Straw into gold...Straw into gold

Spinning for mercy

Spinning for hope

Spinning for love

Spinning for gold
