lyrics

I'm singing this town to sleep.
I'm the only one who's up right now.
Children hold onto your keeps…
Momma might not be here in the morning.

Did you forget to lock for front doors?
It'll keep you up for hours more.
You're thinking' someone is coming to kill you…
You'll wake up again and check it.

But ain't funny how we all get so scared.
Rest easy town, I'll be singing you to sleep.
Sleep easy town
I'll be singing you to sleep.

Sleep…
Sleep…
Sleep….

Hush little trees,
quite your leaves.
Dim now you stars pass the message to mars.
Mother Earth sink your oceans a little lower.
We'd all love if would spin a little slower.
For me.
and for you.
The world will not wait.
The world will not wait.

Sleep easy town...
I'll be singing you to sleep.
