Sing You to Sleep

You wouldn't be up at night

if it wasn't for Christmas lights

This year has moved in unexpected ways

Where the pillow should reach your head

There's a sorrow that comes instead

and stays with you until the morning light

Dreams are hatching, no one's watching

Days are endless, never finished

(sing you to sleep, sing you to sleep)

Want the past, but you can't have it

Silent blessing, finally resting

They all try to search for you

but there's nowhere to send them to

The family room is filled with empty space

The television starts to sing

but it doesn't say anything

and no one's saying anything at all

(sing you to sleep, sing you to sleep)

Dreams are hatching, no one's watching

Days are endless, never finished

Want the past, but you can't have it

Silent blessing, finally resting

(sing you to sleep, sing you to sleep)

Burn the bridge that leads to places

Where ghosts from Christmas never left us

Each new year brings hope and meaning
