about
a lullaby for the object of reference
lyrics
When you go to sleep
When you go to sleep
Bring something home for me
There are some things you must keep
There are some things you must keep
But what's left don't keep from me
If the walls have learned to speak
And if the trees have learned to speak
Then it's the walls that you must heed
And it's the trees that you must heed
Drink down this offering
Drink it down because it is free
Believe
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The fever hits the streets
The clouds fall to the sea
Hold fast to your feet
And when god kneels by your bed
Remember what he said
He hates to be misread
Now come back home to me
Come back home to me
Don't linger out of reach
The nail pulled from the door
The coat falls to the floor
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Hold me in your arms
Hold me in your heart
Keep me safe from harm
Keep me safe from harm
