My days were getting cold; my soul was bought and sold
To that devil in red, oh he climbed into my bed
Said darling I’ll protect your bones, as if they were my own
Your days were getting dark, so you threw away your heart
To that devil in red, oh he climbed into your bed
Said darling I’ll protect your lungs, as if they were my only ones

Sing me to sleep, sing me to sleep, and hold my heart, let that devil weep
They say that fire is his only friend; oh you like to play pretend
My dear
Ooh ooh ooh

Lay me down, lay me down, and close my eyes, pull away my frown
Oh you were my only friend, Guess you like to play pretend
My dear
Ooh ooh ooh

You’re sitting in his car, the radio is playing and you feel so far
Away from the rest of your tired day
He it makes you feel alive, you lick your lips say darling drive
I’m sitting in a park; it’s four o’clock but its getting dark
Just another winter day, you wrote me a letter to say
You apologize, for all your little lies

Sing me to sleep, sing me to sleep, and hold my heart, let that devil weep
They say that fire is his only friend; oh you like to play pretend
My dear
Ooh ooh ooh
Lay me down, lay me down, and close my eyes, pull away my frown
Oh you were my only friend, Guess you like to play pretend
Oh you were my only friend, Guess you like to play pretend
Oh you were my only friend, Guess you like to play pretend
My dear
