lyrics

Is it heavy in your armour
Are you leaning on your sword
Is it time to lay your body down
All beautiful and sore

Did you check off all your boxes
Have your orders all been filled
Or do you still have monsters
That you have yet to kill
You have yet to kill

Goodnight, goodnight to all you ships at sea
May the weather treat you better than this trouble’s treating me
From the royals in high places to the urchins in the street
May all your little storms leave you be
May all your little storms leave you be

Are there mountains on the sidewalk
And logs across your door
Pushing them around all day
Must make you cold and sore

Just for tonight
There’s no shame in giving up
I bet you can find a little quit
Even in the best of us
Even in the best of us

Goodnight, goodnight to all you ships at sea
May the weather treat you better than this trouble’s treating me
From the royals in high places to the urchins in the street
May all your little storms leave you be
May all your little storms leave you be
