Lyrics
Waiting long, waiting still; silver moonlight gleams upon them.
They awake: monsters wait! Did we bring them home for supper?
Monsters made you, little boys; don't you worry--angels watch you!
Lock the door, sleep on the floor--watching, waiting all night long!
Bye, bye; sleep tight.
Heart stay strong; heart stay true; smile stretched across her paper face uncracked--can't look back! Wonders what could have been.
Did she give you what you needed, son? Did you wish you had another mother who could laugh with you? Won't be long now, she'll be gone!
Bye bye, sleep tight.
