Dayspring (go To Sleep Now) Lyrics

Old Jerusalem Dayspring (go To Sleep Now)

Though it was then painful
I take it today you know how good it felt you cared
You knew every loud word, shared the pleasure of singing
A tradition to which I am heir
And you were there

Hedonistic, yes, I claim
My frugal tastes feel a lot like high jinks
And you’ve witnessed me gallantly explaining for the nth time
It’s really simpler than everyone thinks
Just pour the drinks

Staying in with our novel
Talking “A ghost at noon” to sense really feels like a date
Still there’s bonding to do and there’s people to meet
And repeated calls for us not to be late
Let’s celebrate

20 minutes since we came out
Longing for fresh air, ringing still in our ears
You’ve been ranting about how it’s not usually like this
While I hold your head, well, don’t you worry, dear
I am here
