The Curse - Dwight Yoakam

Don’t you sleep

Don’t you have a single moment’s peace

Just walk through the darkness

With fears that are deep

And don’t you even sleep

Don’t you smile

Don’t you have happy thoughts for a while

'Til teardrops and sadness

Both go out of style

No, don’t you even smile

These are the things

I wish for you

Deep in my heart

How I hope they come true

And then you’ll know

When bad turns to worse

What it’s like to live under love’s curse

--- Instrumental ---

These are the things

I wish for you

Deep in my heart

How I hope they come true

And then you’ll know

When bad turns to worse

What it’s like to live under love’s curse

Don’t you try

To have a single

Thought that goes by

Without being haunted

By memories like mine

No, don’t you even try…
