lyrics

Out in the jungle the sun goes down
Birds are getting quiet, there’s a hush all around
Night flowers bloom, reaching for the moon
Something starts to creep
I wonder how the jungle sleeps

Way off in the distance, in the fading light
All the daytime creatures, turning in for the night
A pair of glowing eyes, master of disguise
Peering from the trees
I wonder how the jungle sleeps

The shadows prowl like nighttime thieves
The moon that shimmers on the leaves
The eyes, the mouths, the running feet
I wonder how the jungle sleeps

Breath is moving out, and it comes back in
Half the world lies down, the other half begins
Lifting on a wing, barely whispering
Something like a dream
I wonder how the jungle sleeps
The shadows prowl like nighttime thieves
The moon that shimmers on the leaves
The eyes, the mouths, the running feet
And far away a low drum beats
There’s something hiding in the trees
The things you hear but cannot see
The eyes, the mouths, the running feet
I wonder how the jungle sleeps

Out in the jungle, in the long dark gloom
A trumpet vine sways, there’s a sweet perfume
From far away a roar, nothing like before
Darkness is complete
I wonder how the jungle sleeps

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
