Once again a current favourite song is lacking lyrics on the interwebs. This situation cannot go uncorrected. So here’s the words to Peggy Sue – The Remainder as transcribed by yours truly during one of those lovely nights when insomnia and me are bosom buddies (that would be most nights then).

The rythmn surrounds the room, you’ll be sleeping soon.
The radio plays its tune, you’ll be dreaming.
Take a match to that paper moon and i’ll set it alight,
a bright nightlight for you.

And i’ll hold my body still.
i’ll hold against it’s will,
and i’ll hold my breath untíl i’m blue and i’m bruised.

You’ll say this mind is ill,
but sleep will come, it will.
First let the truce lay real
and dreams will come back to you.

’cause the rocks the’ve thrown are all laid down
and the backs that turned are all turned back around
and your hands still warm in my own at night
but your body’s cold, won’t you warm it with mine?

And you cut my hair by moonlight
and I held my breath out of fright
as the locks fell loose by your side
and I had nowhere left to hide this pride.

I’ll bend my body ’til it breaks
and i’ll bend these truths to make you space
and i’ll bend my will ’til we find faith.
And I’ll bend, and i’ll break

For You …

And all I’ll bring you is love.
