[Verse 1] Baby, your eyelids are lead Let me tuck in your head I left my shirt on the chair Spent the whole night out there My knuckles are split and sore I won’t bring that to your door So I keep my hands in my coat And I hum low, soft and slow [Pre-Chorus] Shh, let the hurt fall away I’m here now, stay Shh, let the bruises be mine You just close your eyes [Chorus] Sleep now, sleep now Leather jacket lullaby Sleep now, sleep now Let the hard night pass us by I’m still right here I’m still right here Sleep now, sleep now Leather jacket lullaby [Verse 2] There’s a smear on my cuff, dark red But I kissed your hair instead The porch light’s out in the hall We don’t need words at all You can hear my boots by the door But they’re not banging anymore I got blood on my pride tonight You got peace and the quilt pulled tight [Pre-Chorus] Shh, let the hurt fall away I’m here now, stay Shh, let the dark drift off Till the morning softens up [Chorus] Sleep now, sleep now Leather jacket lullaby Sleep now, sleep now Let the hard night pass us by I’m still right here I’m still right here Sleep now, sleep now Leather jacket lullaby [Bridge] If they ask where I went Say I wore out the rent Say I lost that mean-eyed stare On the way back here If I wake with my fist on fire You can hold my wrist a little higher I’ll be the one who stays awake While you learn the safest kind of break [Chorus] Sleep now, sleep now Leather jacket lullaby Sleep now, sleep now Let the hard night pass us by I’m still right here I’m still right here Sleep now, sleep now Leather jacket lullaby
