Wherever You Lay You Down To Sleep Tonight

Wherever you lay you down to sleep tonight Be it near the bleating barges Or the river that fills its sea Be it where the city lights Make poor imitation of a comforting day, Wherever you lay down to sleep tonight Remember There is another who keeps vigil of the night And roam his thoughts like hooting truck Or ship, or plane Or something that remove ignorance like a muck O still his vigil keeps Wherever you lay you down to sleep tonight I in far away sorrow steeps For more than gulf I do not fear the distance My trust can walk I fear the silence Then sudden overwhelm that you may no more talk.
