Текст песни The Fear Never Leaves You - Richard Thompson

Roll the dice, and who decides
One man lives, another man dies
The butcher's bill, all shapes and size
Burned into the back of my eyes

If you should dream the dreams I dream
If you should dream the dreams I dream
If you should dream the dreams I dream
You'd never sleep again

The Fear Never Leaves You
The Fear Never Leaves You
The Fear Never Leaves You
Never leaves you alone
Never leaves you alone
Never leaves you alone

Ten Years, Twenty or more
The same monster comes through the door
If I could unsee the things I've seen
Comrades all to smithereens

If you should dream the dreams I dream
If you should dream the dreams I dream
If you should dream the dreams I dream
You'd never sleep again

The Fear Never Leaves You
The Fear Never Leaves You
The Fear Never Leaves You
Never leaves you alone
Never leaves you alone
Never leaves you alone

Numb is heaven, oblivion wealth
The spring never uncoils itself
Can't stand with my back to the door
Bed's like a prison, I'll sleep on the floor

If you should dream the dreams I dream
If you should dream the dreams I dream
If you should dream the dreams I dream
You'd never sleep again

The Fear Never Leaves You
The Fear Never Leaves You
The Fear Never Leaves You
Never leaves you alone
Never leaves you alone
Never leaves you alone
