Paul Simon - Insomniac's Lullaby lyrics

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
