The Hills of Birmingham Lyrics

We're heading west again
With standing distances
But all the roads they lead me back to you
We never need a rest
We'll sleep when we're dead
And all the roads they lead me back to you
I dream about the piece I need
I beg the piece that tortures me
And all the roads they lead me back
To something that I always had
They lead me back, lead me back to you

I don't want to be the one to let you down
I don't want to be the one to let you down

I heard six words you said
"We'll sleep when we are dead"
Sleep when we are dead

But theres another turn, up on the road ahead
And theres a monster sleeping in that bend
Did you hear a word that I said?
Did you hear a word?
I don't want to be the one to let you down
I don't want to be the one to let you down

I heard six words you said
"We'll sleep when we are dead"
Sleep when we are dead

What would you say?
What would you say?
What would you say if you were here right now?
What would you say?
Over the darkness seas
What would you say?
Under the moon and then
What would you say if you were here right now
I don't want to be the one to let you down
I don't want to be the one to let you down

I heard six words you said
"We'll sleep when we are dead"
Sleep when we are dead
Sleep when we are dead
Sleep when we are dead

We'll sleep when we are
Sleep when we are under those stars
Think a new start
Sleep when we are dead
