Now I lay you down to sleep
Close your eyes, no counting sheep
Into your dreams the wolves will leap
so drink this whisky and go to sleep
Before your breathing gets too deep
Take in these words, I've promises to keep
Though the mountains, they are so steep
Drink this whisky and go to sleep
Drink this whisky and go to sleep
Before the dawn sun starts to creep
Before the rooster makes a peep
Before I resign and start to weep
I'll drink this whisky and go to sleep
I'll drink this whisky and go to sleep

Lay your head upon your pillow'
close your eyes unto the light
let your troubles fall beside you
little darling sweet goodnight
codladh samh codladh samh
codladh samh codladh samh
let your worries of tomorrow
fall away and never be
may the blessings of the Father
flow to you straight down through me
codladh samh codladh samh
codladh samh codladh samh

P Ferguson - Rest Easy

Rest easy now
For the night will hold you
It beckons and calls
Oh Like a Child loves their mother
Good Night Sleep Tight
Know the Heavens are watching over you
Sweet Dreams just know I will see you tomorrow
As I sing my song
I Hope it finds you well
If I was a younger man
I would swim my way back into your arms
And when I sleep I know
I'll rest so peacefully
As I lay in my bed
with a hope inside my head
Don't cry my love let the blankets keep you warm
Good night to all Good night to all

sometimes this house gets so loud
sometimes I stand ‘neath the blackest of clouds
love's when the walls all come down
times I forget just how much I can hurt you
the clock ticks slow
I’ve got miles to go
it’s hard being gone for so long
but I’ve got a history of holding you wrong
don’t know what happens to me
I can’t find the notes and I lose harmony
and the walls turn black
I can’t find my way back
close your eyes
let the silence wash over you now
nothing can hurt you tonight
the hours before daybreak
the stars sweep the sky
under the moon’s cleansing light
may you find peace
I’ve taken for granted the trials
that sometimes I have to drive hundreds of miles
to find it all falling in place
plain as the nose on the end of my face
between love and peace
sometimes wonders cease
please don’t forget what I said
specially the parts that I left in my head
everything I’m all about
sometimes gets lost in the screams and the shouts
and the road goes by
should my heart bleed dry
close your eyes
let the silence wash over you now
nothing can hurt you tonight
the hours before daybreak
the stars sweep the sky
under the moon’s cleansing light
may you find peace

Rest your head in the valley
Rest your head by the sea
With the wind, I will carry
All your worry, set you free
When the rain falls like stones
And you feel like running away
When you're helpless and alone
I'll be here to brighten your day
Darkness will come at the worst of time
A journey to bring you on down
With sword and with shield I will be by your side
So just lie down
Rest your head in the valley
Rest your head by the sea
With the wind, I will carry
All your worry, set you free
I'll carry your worries, set you free

Sleep now, me darling, don't you cry
Or angels will stick a pin in your eye
If ye sin in yer dreams, yer soul’s gonna fry
Sleep well dear, I hope ye don't die.
Yer daddy drank up the dole money
Yer wee brother’s eaten by fleas
He woke all cold in the morning
And now there's just 4 mouths to feed.
Chorus
Tomorrow is your first communion
The priest is the holiest bard
but I can't show you off in your new suit
If you throw up the Lord in the yard
Chorus
You're the only Survivor of typhoid
all the Altar Boys praying for you
But don’t talk to a girl while yer healing
or your girlfriend could die in the loo
Chorus
Good little boys die for Ireland
Holy boys die for the lord
Don’t matter which one that ye die for
Just as long as yer stiff as a board.
Chorus

Busy days and playground plays Full on energy
Slide races and dirty faces 2 + 2 + 3
Amazed at the things you do each day
No more of this stalling pillow time is calling...
Sleep well sweet ones
Close your eyes the dreams will come
Telling stories and counting sheep
Sweet ones, go to sleep
Relax now off to sleep
Field trips and battleships dodgeball in the yard
Apple picking time's ticking where's my poke cards?
Amazed at all you know already
Stop talking and go to bed and...
Sleep well sweet ones
Close your eyes the dreams will come
Telling stories and counting sheep
Sweet ones, go to sleep
Relax now off to sleep
One sheep and two sheep, three
Stop squirming and questioning
Four sheep and five sheep go
Last snuggles I love you, love you so...

Lay your head upon my chest, my child
Pay no mind to thunder
Dream of bell filled fields and summer green
As you lie in slumber
As the sun retreats behind earths line
Find comfort in knowing
The sheep they sleep behind the fence
The fields are plowed for sewing
As you lay and ponder life now passed
The fear of death is growing
Grab his hand remembering
All the things you've shown me

I've waited to long to sing you to sleep
But when you wake up, I hope you believe
I've been dreaming of you, dreaming of you
I hope you know I believe in you
I'm standing on the outside, I'm looking in
I don't even know how to begin
To say I'm dreaming of you, dreaming of you
I hope you know I believe in you
I've waited to long to sing you to sleep
But when you wake up, I hope you believe
I've been dreaming of you, dreaming of you
I hope you know I believe in you
