lyrics

The Kids Are Asleep – Words by Phil Klahn, music by Phil Klahn and Jon Zaerr

A long tiring day, everyday
Go home and kiss the wife
The clock strikes the hours by
Towards silence and the peaceful life

The kids are asleep

The mood seems to mellow with the falling sky
Loved one there on my arm
The world will just roll away with the sun
In this darkened house, far from harm
The kids are asleep

Blues rise, twilight
Oo, life is such a comfort
Shades drawn, tired yawns
This home life is such an escape
‘Til the morning when the kids awake

Peace lies upon the horizon
Far from the idle woes of man
Love lies close by with no burden
Save the fact that the morning will come again
The kids are asleep

Blues rise, twilight
Oo, life is such a comfort
Shades drawn, tired yawns
This home life is such an escape
‘Til the morning when the kids awake

Life is content just to weary away
The oneness of our sacred vows
The final rest should be words enough
To live on the serene feelings now
The kids are asleep

Blues rise, twilight
Oo, life is such a comfort
Shades drawn, tired yawns
This home life is such an escape
‘Til the morning when the kids awake
