Good mornin, my darlin, I said from the door

My bags are all packed, you wont see me anymore.

The room it was empty except for your clothes

And a picture of the forest through the dimly lit smoke

Did you sleep well?

Did you sleep fine?

Did you sleep much at all?

All night I heard two voices from out here in the hall

The first one was lonesome and the second one was clear

The first one was familiar as the second drew near

She walked to the window to expose the light

Her breath hung in silence like the fog in the night

The sun raised its head from behind the frost

She sat down by the stove with her long legs crossed

Did you sleep well?

Did you sleep fine?

Did you sleep much at all?

All night I heard two voices from out here in the hall

The first one was ancient but the second was a gun

The first one was laughin before the second was done

She drew up her eyes and then turned my way

Her mouth it was movin but the words tried to stay

Her posture was thin and her tears they were tall

Like the picture of the forest in the fire in the hall

Did you sleep well?

Did you sleep fine?

Did you sleep much at all?

All night I heard two voices from out here in the hall

The first it was singing and the second dressed in red

The first one was hungry and the second was well fed

My struggles were hard and my journey was long

My food was your beauty and my water your song

I returned for your voice and your precious melody

I heard them both but you sang not for me

Did you sleep well?

Did you sleep fine?

Did you sleep much at all?

All night I heard two voices from out here in the hall

The first was a flower and the second was a train

The first issued warning and the second brought the rain

Day is breaking, its time for me to leave

Each breath Im taking reminds me to grieve

Youve proven false but another will be true

Walking tall in the darkness the whole night through

Will you sleep well?

Will you sleep fine?

Will you sleep much at all?

All night youll hear two voices from out there in the hall

The first will be a mirror and the second one a dove

The first will be an echo and the second silent love

Will you sleep well?

Will you sleep fine?

Will you sleep much at all?

All night youll hear two voices from out there in the hall

The first will be a mirror and the second one a dove

The first will be an echo and the second silent love

I think this haunting song is about jealousy, murder, and arson. It's brilliant though, and beautiful!

Thank you so much for sharing that with. I was thinking it was about a woman living with another woman that was cruel to her...then I thought that idea was silly. It's always fun to put different spins on songs and hearing other peoples views. Thanks again! :)

What I've gathered from asking Nate about the meaning of his songs is that they mean whatever you want them to mean. Maybe it's from the perspective of someone who overheard their lover or someone they wanted to be with with someone else?
