lyrics

I don’t sleep in a bed
I sleep on my dog instead
She’s furry and she’s mellow
Her belly is my pillow
We snore together when the lights are low

I don’t sleep lying down
I sleep on my knees with my ear to the ground
I hear the humming of the earth
And the critters in the dirt
Breathing with the world that’s spinning round

And like a bird I fly away
Up in the clouds above the trees
Or like a seal I crest the waves
Then dive down deep under the sea

I don’t sleep in my room
I sleep in a tent lit up by the moon
I hear the raccoons when they visit
You’d think it’s scary but it isn’t
And the crickets sing my favorite bedtime tune

And like a bird I fly away
Up in the clouds above the trees
Or like a seal I crest the waves
Then dive down deep under the sea

Like a bird I’m soaring high
Over the mountains flying free
Or like a seal I don’t ask why
I simply dive under the sea

I don’t sleep in my room
I sleep in a tent lit up by the moon
I don’t sleep in the dark
I sleep with a light in the shape of a star

My bed’s a ship I’m rowing
Above me planets glowing
I never dreamed that I could go so far

I hear the humming of the earth
And the critters in the dirt
Breathing with the world that’s spinning round
I don’t sleep in a bed

Sara Lovell Berkeley, California

Sara Lovell's third children’s music album in less than four years, Night Life, celebrates the hours leading to bedtime and the magical worlds we enter when we finally fall sleep. As with her last two award winning albums, the new release moves beautifully between diverse musical genres – at moments riotous and full of unrestrained joy, at other moments tender, introspective and melodic. ... more
