Carly Simon - Embrace Me, You Child Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • At night I heard God whisper lullabyes
  • While Daddy next door whistled whisky 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 nightime 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 notice 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
