Dont Let Me Fall to Sleep

from 2020 VISION by Bill White

lyrics

What happened to my ride?
What happened to my dough?
The party is over
Ive no place to go
All of times markings have disappeared
Will somebody show me the way out of here?

You cant take the high road because of the fog
You could follow the river were it not for the dogs
The best route to take is the pathway concealed
But dont shut your eys when crossing the field

Oh lord, if a cloud be your window
Oh lord, if youre watching over me
Please send some rest. Im so weary
But dont let me fall to sleep

My homeland lies beyond the bend
If I sleep, my journey ends
And Ill never make it home
I lift my face up from the grass
And try to join the crowds that pass
But I am passing into stone

Oh if a cloud be your window
If youre watching over me
Just send a little rest to the weary
But dont let me fall to sleep

What happened to my friend
who promised to return?
Did he fall asleep in the courtyard
Where the winter flames still burn?

What happened to the music?
Why did the lights go out?
Who stole the water from the river
And set their face against this house?

Oh lord, Oh lord , Oh lord
Listen to my prayer
If a cloud be your window
If youre watching over me
Send a little rest for the weary
But dont let me fall to sleep
