歌詞

The day is folded neatly

On the chair beside the bed

The katydids are further now

The wind-bell's almost still

The last light in the neighbor's house

Went out beyond the hill

My eyes are closing on their own

I'll let them have their way

In peace I lay me down to sleep

For You alone keep me

The cool came in, the day went out

And both were good to me

Tomorrow can be warm again

The garden will not mind

For every summer day ends here:

Held, and cooled, and kind

The pillow's cool against my cheek

The dark is velvet-deep

In peace I lay me down to sleep

For You alone keep me

The cool came in, the day went out

And both were good to me

The house relaxes beam by beam

It did its summer best

The wind-bell says one silver word

And settles into rest

Mmm... mmm... mmm

In peace I lay me down to sleep

For You alone keep me

The cool came in, the day went out

And both were good to me

In peace I lay me down to sleep

For You alone keep me

The cool came in, the day went out

And both were good to me

The day is folded neatly

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
