THE SLEEP OF THE GOOD
(John Farrar-Tim Rice)

No-one can touch you now, no
No-one can harm you, you’re finally free
Your passion all spent
Your savage intent
To break away meant to break me

Oh Cathy, the game you played
Oh Cathy, you’ve paid
I’ve been betrayed
I try to find the words to justify
All that you’ve put me through
What gave you the right to leave me?
When you, you knew, I loved you
I pray you find some peace at last
The sleep of the good
If only you could

Only my life remains, cold
This is a winter will never know spring
As time and again
I try to contain
The anger and pain that you bring

Oh Cathy my reckless one
Oh Cathy, it’s done
The night’s began
You lie so close, so calm, so motionless
I can almost believe
That you’re still in my arms, within me
So near, to hear, I loved you
I pray I find some peace at last
The sleep of the good
If only I could
