Lullaby for the Sheltered

Musical Influence:

Neil Young's Long May You Run

Content influence

Conversation with a man at Main and Hastings

Homeless shelter

Helter-skelter

Bad moon rising

Evil creeps

Fights erupting

No keeping peace

No getting tucked in

No getting sleep

Song rises sweet

Above the anger

And the counting
Of the sheep

Fall asleep now, fall asleep
Fall asleep my friend

The day is done

And its troubles are all gone

Get some sleep

And tomorrow you'll be strong

Fall asleep now

Let your sweet dreams

Take you far from here

Fall asleep now

Fall asleep now
Fall asleep now
Fall asleep to
Angels singing your ear

In the morning

I'll be long gone
Moving forward
Heading on

But tomorrow maybe
You can sing this song

Fall asleep now
Sing to everyone

Cold dark alley

Couldn't  find a place

The old man died

Full of grace

As angels took him

Homeward bound

A thousand shelters

He called home sang out this sound

Fall asleep now, fall asleep now

Let your sweet dreams

Take you far from here

Fall asleep now...
