The Fear Never Leaves You

Richard Thompson

[Verse 1]
Roll the dice, and who decides?
One man lives and another man dies
Butcher's bill, every shape and size
Burned into the back of my eye

[Pre-Chorus]
If you should dream the dreams I dream
If you should dream the dreams I dream
If you should dream the dreams I dream
You never would sleep again

[Chorus]
And the fear never leaves you
The fear never leaves you
It never leaves you alone
(Somewhere remember us, somewhere remember us)
Never leaves you alone
(Somewhere remember us, somewhere remember us)

[Verse 2]
Ten years, twenty or more
The same monster walks through the door
If I could unsee the things I've seen
Comrades all to smithereens

[Pre-Chorus]
If you should dream the dreams I dream
If you should dream the dreams I dream
If you should dream the dreams I dream
You never would sleep again

[Chorus]
The fear never leaves you
The fear never leaves you
And the fear never leaves you
It never leaves you alone
(Somewhere remember us, somewhere remember us)
It never leaves you alone
(Somewhere remember us, somewhere remember us)

[Verse 3]
Numb is heaven, oblivion wealth
The spring never uncoils itself
I can't stand with my back to the door
Bed's like a prison, I'll sleep on the floor

[Pre-Chorus]
If you should dream the dreams I dream
If you should dream the dreams I dream
If you should dream the dreams I dream
You never would sleep again

[Chorus]
The fear never leaves you
The fear never leaves you
And the fear, it never leaves you
Never leaves you alone
(Somewhere remember us, somewhere remember us)
Leaves you alone
(Somewhere remember us, somewhere remember us)

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Somewhere remember us, somewhere remember us
Somewhere remember us, somewhere remember us
Somewhere remember us, somewhere remember us
Somewhere remember us
