Sentry Duty

I'm gonna fight back every blink
Because it'd be one step closer to falling asleep.
I'm not gonna fall asleep tonight
Because once I do I know you'll leave.

I must watch for even the slightest movement,
Because I can't let you escape from the bed,
I must watch over you my precious that you won't wander into the darkness
Because without you I'd rather be dead.

I can't let your rays of sunshine reach this undeserving city,
So I must stay awake and hold on to you as tight as you'll let me.
I can't let this monstrous city destroy your beauty,
So I must watch over you that you don't leave me, baby.

So goes every passing night, in which I guard my only treasure in life,
Because you don't know how much less love is in every other man's heart,
So I must keep you safe here in bed,
Because you're worth so much more to me, more even than every star.
