walking through the dark
in a place i know too well
i've brought you here
to a home
to a final rest
the night is our mother (it keeps us warm)
cradles us up (up above)
wraps us in (that childhood way)
keeps our feet up (off the ground)
i can't see your face
but i can feel your summer heat
baked in moist night
you're never cool
to my touch
the night is our mother (it keeps us warm)
cradles us up (up above)
wraps us in (that childhood way)
keeps our feet up (off the ground)
a sign will read
who lies here
where we lie
where we fell to sleep
in the arms of the night
the night is our mother (it keeps us warm)
cradles us up (up above)
wraps us in (that childhood way)
keeps our feet up (off the ground)
