Leave Your Sleep

IN THE LAND OF NOD

From breakfast on through the day
At home among my friends I stay,
But every night I go abroad

Afar into the land of Nod.

All by myself I have to go,

With none to tell me what to do--

All alone beside the streams

And up the mountain-sides of dreams.

The strangest things are there for me,

Both things to eat and things to see,

And many frightening sights abroad

Till morning in the land of Nod.

Try as I like to find the way,

I never can get back by day,

Nor can remember plain and clear

The curious music that I hear.

Natalie Merchant, your voice, your movements and your humor never fail. Thank you, my thoughtful Girl, for an amazing evening with the North Carolina Symphony & one of my favorite artists...
