And she opened up and cried
To be taken in the name
Of Holy Orders
Of bribery and charity and pain
But he was afraid
Innocent though stranded by a lie
That wouldn’t waver
Wounded by a light that wouldn’t die
Speak or sleep for a while
You can’t fill this emptiness inside
Speak or sleep for a while
You can’t fill this emptiness inside
So while the husband was away
He would wake her every evening from a dream
And if it’s loneliness she craves for
Then she couldn’t wish for better company
But he tries
And he gives as much as he’s allowed in this life
Until he stands on the edge
But he can’t give it up
Can’t give up
Speak or sleep for a while
You can’t fill this emptiness inside
Speak or sleep for a while
You can’t fill this emptiness inside
But tonight will linger for a while…
Come on let’s fill this emptiness tonight…
