Embrace Me, You Child Lyrics - Songs From The Trees: A Musical Memoir Collection - Carly Simon

At night in bed 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

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 

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

Go chase the wild and nighttime streets sang daddy 

And god sang, pray the devil doesn't get to you
