Bluesday
Andy Lyle 1951 (Londonderry)
Sun please don't rise tomorrow
Or the next day if you can
As my aching heart can't face another day
Let nights cloak wrap around me
And hide me from my woes
When I lay my head to pillow
And my eyes I finally close
Let not my heart be troubled
By the problems of the day
So I can sleep at peace with all the world
And if daylight don't break my slumber
Or some nightmare from the past
I shall sleep until the nightfall
When I will be safe at last
