Sleep, sleep, long may you slumber'Neath the moonlight's beamIn the night your hard times will be overIn the valleys of your dreamsClose your eyes and let the night wash you into its warm embraceFeel the stars bathe you and the cool breezes blow softly upon your faceFor once you're asleep the owl will fly down from its perch on the moonIt will outstretch its talons and take our house on a trip past the lake's laughing loonsOver cities we'll roam and into the mountains where we'll travel so far and so highPast smokestacks and highways and flickering lights to the snow-capped peaks of nighAnd there we will stay with our families and lovers while we await the scene down belowBeneath us the world bustles but up in the mountains it's just us and the snowSo sleep, sleep, long may you slumber'Neath the moonlight's beamIn the night your hard times will be overIn the valleys of your dreamsAnd when the time comes a great flood will wash all of the cities awayWhile we're up in the mountains biding our time the deserts will turn into plainsThe farms will grow forests, the wheat turned to grass and the earth will quake with the soundOf the buffalo herds that storm through the land, covering earth all aroundAnd the air will be fresh as the running streams and the birds all around will take flightAnd the sky will be filled with migrating flocks to make day turn into nightAnd we'll come down from the mountains and live in the towns or travel along on the plainsLetras de cancionesWith a new start to take and a new world to make, free of these civilized stainsSo sleep, sleep, long may you slumber'Neath the moonlight's beamIn the night your hard times will be overIn the valleys of your dreams From Letras Mania
