Текст песни The Curse - Dwight Yoakam

Don't you sleep
Don't you have a single moment's peace
Just walk through the darkness
With fears that are deep
And don't you even sleep

Don't you smile
Don't you have happy thoughts for a while
'Til teardrops and sadness
Both go out of style
No, don't you even smile

These are the things
I wish for you
Deep in my heart
How I hope they come true

And then you'll know
When bad turns to worse
What it's like to live under love's curse

--- Instrumental ---

These are the things
I wish for you
Deep in my heart
How I hope they come true

And then you'll know
When bad turns to worse
What it's like to live under love's curse

Don't you try
To have a single
Thought that goes by
Without being haunted
By memories like mine
No, don't you even try...
