Embrace Me You Child lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Embrace Me You Child lyrics (Carly Simon) 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 song lyrics
