Ah, I love this song, it is so much better then "Son".

Probably the best song off the album.

The best song in the album, IMO . I agree with you ... this song is very similar to "Son", which is good, since it was one of my faves from 12BB.

It's the one and only song I like off of this album. It really has a SLDD/Tiny Music feel to it in ways. Here's my horrible attempt at the lyrics (yes, I know some words are wrong)...


A wonderful find her like no one before,
The world bowed before her,
Do you know what I mean?

I think I fell from the sky when she,
Told me when she needs me,
We were so happy, like a couple on the silver screen

Please don't change, I'll never be the same,
Now go to sleep gently, you're killing me sweetly
'Cause I can't find a way, to make you believe

Now go to sleep gently, it's killing you sweetly
'Cause you can't find a way, to make me believe

Took a trip out of town we went,
South of the border,
Somebody told us where we could run away.

One morning you wake up and,
No one's beside you,
No one to guide you, do you know what I mean?

Now she escapes, will lead to better place,
Now go to sleep gently, you're killing me sweetly
'Cause I can't find a way, to make you believe

Now go to sleep gently, it's killing you sweetly
'Cause you can't find a way, to make me believe

You are the apple of my life
You are the sun that gave me life

Now go to sleep gently, you're killing me sweetly
'Cause I can't find a way, to make you believe

Now go to sleep gently, it's killing you sweetly
'Cause you can't find a way, to make me believe

I don't know if this is off topic, but some Lynyrd Skynyrd pre-sales are coming up soon...

No, no, no.  I'm just concerned for STP fans.  They should always be informed when Skynyrd pre-sales are coming.  Didn't you get your e-mail Beavis?

Actually, I think it's "Vicious games, will lead to bitter pain". Here's the fixed up lyrics (added a word I left out too)...


A wonderful find her like,
No one before her,
The world bowed before her, do you know what I mean?

I think I fell from the sky when she,
Told me when she needs me,
We were so happy, like a couple on the silver screen

Please don't change, I'll never be the same,
Now go to sleep gently, you're killing me sweetly
'Cause I can't find a way, to make you believe

Now go to sleep gently, it's killing you sweetly
'Cause you can't find a way, to make me believe

Took a trip out of town we went,
South of the border,
Somebody told us where we could run away.

One morning you wake up and,
No one's beside you,
No one to guide you, do you know what I mean?

Vicious games, will lead to bitter pain,
Now go to sleep gently, you're killing me sweetly
'Cause I can't find a way, to make you believe

Now go to sleep gently, it's killing you sweetly
'Cause you can't find a way, to make me believe

You are the apple of my life
You are the sun that gave me life

Now go to sleep gently, you're killing me sweetly
'Cause I can't find a way, to make you believe

Now go to sleep gently, it's killing you sweetly
'Cause you can't find a way, to make me believe

Does anyone know where can I find the lyrics for the whole album?

I know it does not make any sense for you guys being american but for the foreigners here it really does.

Thanks!

I love this song. I was always a fan of the bossa nova sound anyway and this song proves to me that when it's all said and done and Scott wants to "retire"....he could easily become a lounge act in Vegas.
No seriously.

Final lyrics, all correct now (according to the booklet scans). I was only off by one line overall. :P

A wonderful find unlike,
No one before her
The world bowed before her,
Do you know what I mean?

I think I fell from the sky when she,
Told me when she needs me
We were so happy like,
A couple on the silver screen

Please don't change,
I'll never be the same...

Now go to sleep gently,
You're killing me sweetly
'Cause I can't find a way,
To make you believe...

Now go to sleep gently,
It's killing you sweetly
'Cause you can't find a way,
To make me believe...

Took a trip out of town we went,
South of the border
Somebody told us where we,
Could run away.

One morning you wake up and,
No one's beside you
No one to guide you,
Do you know what I mean?

Vicious games,
Will lead to bitter pain...

Now go to sleep gently,
You're killing me sweetly
'Cause I can't find a way,
To make you believe...

Now go to sleep gently,
It's killing you sweetly
'Cause you can't find a way,
To make me believe...

You are the apple of my life
You are the sun that gave me life

Now go to sleep gently,
You're killing me sweetly
'Cause I can't find a way,
To make you believe...

Now go to sleep gently,
It's killing you sweetly
'Cause you can't find a way,
To make me believe...
