Sleeping
Written by Robbie Robertson, Richard Manuel

Capitol, 1970
A waltz for the New Year's Eve.
For the life we chose in the evening we rose
Just long enough to be lovers again
And for nothing more, the world was too sore
To live in
Sad old ships
A morning eclipse
I spent my whole life guessing
Then I turned from the sun
And saw everyone
Searching
The hoot owl and his song, will bring you along
Where else on earth would you wanna go?
We can leave all this hate, before it's too late
Why would we wanna come back at all?
Cobwebs on my pillow
I'm found in the willow
I'd spend my whole life sleeping
To be called by noon
Is to be called too soon
Today
The storm is passed
There is peace at last
I'll spend my whole life sleeping
Now there's not a sound
No one to be found
Anywhere
The shepherd and his sheep
Will wind you to sleep
Where else on earth would you wanna go?
To a land of wonder
When you go under
Why would we want to come back at all?
