Early nights are setting in
Murmurations fade, into the waning moon
Throstle song is hollow’ ing
Protestations made, time to sing a different tune
Fading light can never win
Preparations laid, just save me a simple room Fullness of life is wearing thin
Reservations paid, I’m coming home pretty soon
Chorus
but hold on, just because I’m planning on sleeping don’t spend your time much on weeping
gentle in my ear, whisper me goodbye
let the angel dance with the dragonfly
let the dew yield quiet to the sun a’ rise
and the throstle sing, to longer nights
soon be sleeping now
soon be sleeping now

sleeping now
Now all the stars they hold my hand
Constellations high, never asking why or whom
They somehow seem to understand
Congregations cry, they sing a different tune
Come the morning take the witness stand Explanations try, to unlock this fragile tomb
Never know how our lives are planned Lamentations sigh, I’ve come home a little too soon
And I guess now I’ve made it home, you’ll say I was never alone
I’ll hear the voices I heard long ago, the ones from the faces who never show
You’ll say we should have shared some more, only had to knock my door
You’ll say I still had time to play, should a’ stayed to see another day
but hold on, just because I’m planning on sleeping don’t spend your time much on weeping
gentle in my ear, whisper me goodbye
let the angel dance with the dragonfly
let the dew yield quiet to the sun a’ rise
and the throstle sing, to longer nights
soon be sleeping now
soon be sleeping now
Chorus
These lyrics are about...getting ready to fall asleep...for a long, long time, wm.
made it all the way home now, soon be fast asleep
and don’t you weep now, don’t you weep
made it all the way home now, soon be fast asleep
and don’t you weep now, don’t you weep
all weeping cease, now
I’m all at peace
