  • Oh Lord, don't keep me up all night
    Side by side with the moon
    With its desolate eyes
    Miles from the sunrise
    The darkness inviting a tune
    The insomniac's lullaby

    A siren is playing its song in the distance
    The melody rattles the old window frame
    Gradually, angels reveal their existence
    And there's nothing and no one to blame

    Oh Lord, don't keep me up all night
    Side by side with the moon
    Alone in the bed
    The season ahead
    Is winter that lasts until June
    The insomniac's lullaby

    Sleep

    They say all roads lead to a river
    Then one day the river comes up to your door
    How will the builder of bridges deliver us all
    To the faraway shore?

    Oh Lord, don't keep me up all night
    With questions I can't understand
    While I wrestle my fears
    The sound in my ears
    Is the music that's sweeping the land
    The insomniac's lullaby

    Sleep

    Soft as a rose
    The light from the East
    As if all is forgiven and wolves become sheep
    We are who we are
    Or we're not
    But at least we'll eventually all fall asleep
    Eventually all fall asleep Writer/s: PAUL SIMON
