Carly Simon - Embrace Me You Child Lyrics
(carly simon)At night I heard God whisper lullabyesWhile daddy next door whistled whisky tunesAnd sometimes when I wanted, they would harmonizeThere was nothing those two couldnt doEmbrace me you child, youre a child of mineAnd Im leaving everything I am to youGo chase the wild and nightime streets sang daddyAnd God sang, pray the devil doesnt get to youI thought together they must sing the moon awayI thought that they must know each other wellFor the magic that they made, when they playedWasnt lost between their heaven and their hellThen one night daddy died and went to heavenAnd God came down to earth and slipped awayI pretended not to notice Id been abandonedBut no-one sang the night into the dayAnd later night time songs came back againBut the singers dont compare with those I knewAnd I never figured out where God and daddy wentBut there was nothing those two couldnt do
