Текст песни: Go Back to Sleep + перевод

Thought I was supposed to ask

When I could not understand

I didn’t know some questions

Were frowned upon or banned

So when I first saw the shadow

I trembled and I shook

I grabbed your hand and pointed

But you didn’t even look

My son you see shadows

Embarrasement and shame

But the sun makes the shadows

The trees are not to blame

I recall the sunshine

And the look in your eyes

As we reached for the sky

In another time

But at night in the dark

I just couldn’t see

Couldn’t see

And the pain and the fear

Came haunting me

Haunting me

There’s something under my bed, oh

Don’t tell me it’s all in my head, no

I can’t make it out in the darkness

But the contours look like a monster

Daddy why can’t you stand upright

Mommy why do you just cry

Go back to sleep

Go back to sleep

So I never asked again

But I didn’t understand

What was the point to have me

If they couldn’t find the time

So I swallowed the shadow

And made it part of me

I thought that’d make them happy

But that was not to be

My son you’re a shadow

Embarrasment and shame

Our son is in shadow

You’re standing in the way

I recall the sunshine

And the look in your eyes

As we reached for the sky

In another time

But at night in the dark

I couldn’t see

Just couldn’t see

And the pain and the fear

Came haunting me

Haunting me

There’s something under my bed, oh

Don’t tell me it’s all in my head, no

I can’t make it out in the darkness

But the contours look like a monster

Daddy why do you stare through me

Mommy why do you just cry

Go back to sleep

Go back to sleep
