Goodnight, My Sweet One (Hang Up The Receiver)

Goodnight my sweet one
I'll see you in the morning time
rest easy while you sleep
slip away fast into your dreams, into your dreams

hold on, jump across to the ferry and float down stream
the current carries us swiftly toward the sea
let go of all the day's worries; let them sink deep
(alt.--a vast, expansive view extends your reach) big and blue as far as you can see

drift away and come back home
--------long distance------ conversation--------on the telephone
you could make the call collect,
------gather up -------all loose ends -------as you reflect

and pine away the surface values
that glimmer like a mirage and stick like glue.
you breathe the salty air
balmy, hesitant (relevant), and well aware

So
hang up the receiver
hang up the receiver
hang up the receiver, and come back home!
(x 2)

come back home,
come back home!

Well, goodnight my sweet one. (x4)
Goodnight.
