The Sleepers

Fred Hersch, Walt Whitman

[Verse 1]
I wander all night in my vision
Stepping with light feet, swiftly and noiselessly stepping
And stopping, bending with open arms
Over the shadows come sleepers

[Verse 2]
Wandering and confused, lost to myself
Feel assorted contradictory posing
Gazing, branding, and distorting

[Bridge]
How solemn they look there stretched and still
How quiet they breathe, the little children in their cradles

[Verse 3]
The married couple sleep soundly in their bed
He with his palm on the hip of his wife
And she with her palm on the hip of the husband

[Verse 4]
The sisters sleep lovingly side by side in their bed
The men sleep lovingly side by side in beds
And the mother sleeps with her little child carefully wrapped

[Verse 5]
The sleepers are very beautiful as they lie enclosed
They flow hand in hand over the highest, from east to west
As they lie

[Outro]
As they lie
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
