Sleep well my love
Breath in the sweet deep perfumed air
The hour is late, soft auburn hair
You can't go home, you'll stay the night?
For you my love, I pledge my life
The night is long, I'll watchman be
There'll be no ghosts come frighten thee
No villains from the past unlocked
It's over now, all will be stopped
The ghosts of older times perhaps
Have caught thee in their snares and traps
But I say halt! No more of that
I've paid your bond, you're free at last
The badlands of a bad man's mind
Have no place here nor on this night
Nor in the nights still yet to come
Not now that I have pledged my love
I pledge my love to keep thee safe
You'll not be used again as bait
Your pimps left town, he's slung his hook
Now close your eyes, sleep well my love
