Sleepytown
We drink our fill from foreign waters
Turning nickels into dimes
Sweeping cobwebs from the corners
Living life by killing time
Long ago we had a country
Given to us, not a doubt
All we were asked was to remember
But our memory ran out
Night comes down on Sleepytown
In our hearts we feel the yearning
Walking home, laying down
Yerushalayim we are returning
At the mercy of the nations
Beneath the shade of their trees
Till we've overstayed our welcome
They remind us where we should be
Night comes down on Sleepytown
In our hearts we feel the yearning
Walking home, laying down
Yerushalayim we are returning
Sleepytown is not my home
I know that I can't stay
Years in thousands come and gone
Won't You bring us home today
Since the word of creation
Wheels in motion brought us here
Days are coming for our nation
We need redemption now and here
Sleepytown is coming round
Stretching arms up to the sky
Day is here, come dry your tears
Slumber slipping from our eyes
Turning nickels into dimes
Sweeping cobwebs from the corners
Living life by killing time
Long ago we had a country
Given to us, not a doubt
All we were asked was to remember
But our memory ran out
Night comes down on Sleepytown
In our hearts we feel the yearning
Walking home, laying down
Yerushalayim we are returning
At the mercy of the nations
Beneath the shade of their trees
Till we've overstayed our welcome
They remind us where we should be
Night comes down on Sleepytown
In our hearts we feel the yearning
Walking home, laying down
Yerushalayim we are returning
Sleepytown is not my home
I know that I can't stay
Years in thousands come and gone
Won't You bring us home today
Since the word of creation
Wheels in motion brought us here
Days are coming for our nation
We need redemption now and here
Sleepytown is coming round
Stretching arms up to the sky
Day is here, come dry your tears
Slumber slipping from our eyes
