Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat - And So Must We Rest lyrics

The wind will still blow The world is still turning Somewhere exotic The sun is still burning But here the night's falling And so must we rest Your head by my heart Gently pressed to my breast The whispering ocean With tall tales to tell Is done for the day As he settles his swell The flickering stars So impossibly high Are yawning and waving From far in the sky And old mother moon With her pale peaceful light Keeps watch from above As she sings us goodnight "Goodnight, goodnight Oh my children, goodnight Sleep deeply, sleep safely My children sleep tight"
