Insomnie - Walter Martin

Kiss the old cupboard goodnight

Sweep up the kitchen and quietly shut off the lights

Lock up the windows and doors

Shoo the old mouse to his house through his hole in the floor

Fly away, don’t make a peep

Then I’ll go to sleep

Tell me my brother’s all right

Tell me he heard all those words that I told him last night

Tell me the old church was saved

Tell me the fire in the spire didn’t spread to the nave

And tell me the wounds aren’t too deep

Then I’ll go to sleep

I’ll climb in that old black limousine

And roll down a wandering street

Tell me, dear driver, just where it leads

Come on, just one little peek

Then I’ll go to sleep
