St. Judy`s Comet — текст песни (Paul Simon)

Words & music by Paul Simon

Oo, little sleepy boy
Do you know what time it is?
Well the hour of your bedtime`s long been past
And though I know you`re fighting it
I can tell when you rub your eyes
You`re fading fast, oh fading fast

Won`t you run come see St. Judy`s Comet
Roll across the skies
And leave a spray of diamonds in its wake
I long to see St. Judy`s Comet
Sparkle in your eyes when you awake
Oh, when you wake, wake

Little boy
Won`t you lay your body down
Little boy
Won`t you close your weary eyes
Ain`t nothing flashing but the fireflies

Well I sang it once and I sang it twice
I`m going to sing it three times more
I`m going to stay `til your resistance
Is overcome
`Cause if I can`t sing my boy to sleep
Well it makes your famous daddy look so dumb
look so dumb

Won`t you run come see St. Judy`s Comet
Roll across the skies
And leave a spray of diamonds in its wake
I long to see St. Judy`s Comet
Sparkle in your eyes when you awake
Oh, when you wake, wake

Little boy, little boy
Won`t you lay your body down
Little boy, little boy
Won`t you close your weary eyes
Ain`t nothing flashing but the fireflies

Oo, little sleepy boy
Do you know what time it is?
Well the hour of your bedtime`s long been past
And though I know you`re fighting it
I can tell when you rub your eyes
You`re fading fast, oh fading fast
