EMBRACE ME YOU CHILD — текст песни (Carly Simon)

(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
