Leave the music on 

it keeps ghosts away 

 

the right ones will stay 

and the dialogue continues 

after we’re gone 

 

Leave the music on 

my mom always did 

 

it reminded her 

of a symphony and kids 

and the rhythms of rain 

 

we’ll play these songs 

more than twice 

nostalgia cutting us 

another thick slice 

 

vibrations moving 

time through the night 

making lives glide 

to our next destination in style 

 

Leave the music on 

that’s how I sleep

Roxy Music soundtracking

my dreams 

 

between Sundays and Mondays 

I hear the voice of Mister Reed’s 

insomniac lullabies 

whispering me back to sleep
