(Carly Simon)

At night (IN BED) I heard God whisper lullabyes
While Daddy next door whistled whiskey tunes
And sometimes when I wantedthey would harmonize
There was nothing those two couldn t do

Embrace me you childyou re a child of mine
And I m leaving everything I am to you
Go chase the wild and night time streets sang Daddy
And God sangPray 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 madewhen they played
Wasn t lost between their Heaven and their Hell

Then one night Daddy died and went to Heaven
And God came down to earth and slipped away
I pretended not to (KNOW) 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
