(Carly Simon)
|
|
At night (IN BED) I heard God whisper lullabyes
|
While Daddy next door whistled whiskey tunes
|
And sometimes when I wanted, they would harmonize
|
There was nothing those two couldn't do
|
|
Embrace me you child, you're a child of mine
|
And I'm leaving everything I am to you
|
Go chase the wild and night time streets sang Daddy
|
And God sang, Pray the devil doesn't get to you
|
|
I thought together they must sing the moon away
|
I thought that they must know each other well
|
For the magic that they made, when they played
|
Wasn't lost between their Heaven and their Hell
|
|
Then one night Daddy died and went to Heaven
|
And God came down to earth and slipped away
|
I pretended not to (KNOW) I'd been abandoned
|
But no-one sang the night into the day
|
And later night time songs came back again
|
But the singers don't compare with those I knew
|
And I never figured out where God and Daddy went
|
But there was nothing those two couldn't do
|
