THE TOWN OF SLEEP


All night long and every night
When my mama puts out the light
I see the people marching by
As plain as the day before my eye

So fine a show was never seen
At the great circus on the green

For every kind
Every kind of beast and man
Is marching in
Is marching in that caravan
Is marching in that caravan


Armies and emperor and kings
All carrying different kind of things
And marching in so grand a way
You never saw the like by day

As first they move a little slow
But still the faster on they go


And still beside
Still beside me close they keep
Until we reach
Until we reach the town of sleep
Until we reach the town of sleep

Solo

Until we reach the town of sleep
(repeat)
