Lullaby
Embrace Solitude: A Lullaby for Lonely Nights
Lyrics
When you're so lonely lying in bed
Expressing the feeling of loneliness while lying in bed.
Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head
Despite the night being quiet, the inability to find rest.
Everyone's sleeping all through the house
Everyone else in the house is asleep.
You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
Yearning to dream but struggling to remember how.
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Encouraging oneself to sing a lullaby for comfort.
Sing this lullaby to yourself
-And if you are waiting, waiting for me
Assuring a loved one that the singer will be home soon.
Know I'll be home soon darling I guarantee
-I'll be home Sunday just in one week
Promising to return on Sunday and comforting the loved one.
Dry up your tears if you start to weep
-And sing this lullaby to yourself
Reiterating the idea of singing a lullaby for self-comfort.
Sing this lullaby to yourself
-Lullaby, I'm not nearby
Despite physical distance, encouraging self-soothing through the lullaby.
Sing this lullaby to yourself
-Don't you cry, no don't you cry
-Sing this lullaby to yourself
-'Cause when I arrive dear it won't be that long
Anticipating a swift reunion, minimizing the perceived time apart.
No it won't seem like anytime that I've been gone
-It ain't the first time it won't be the last
Acknowledging a recurring situation and suggesting the lyrics as a memory aid.
Won't you remember these words to help the time pass?
-So when you're so lonely lying in bed
Repeating the initial feelings of loneliness and restlessness in bed.
Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head
-Everyone's sleeping all through the house
Reiteration of everyone else being asleep in the house.
You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
Expressing the desire to dream despite forgetfulness.
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Encouraging the repetition of the lullaby for self-comfort.
Sing this lullaby to yourself
-Sing this lullaby, sing this lullaby
Emphasizing the importance of singing the lullaby to oneself.
Sing this lullaby to yourself
