Salvador Lyrics

Sing me to sleep

I won't need to count sheep

No the fields will be quiet tonight

Gates and fences unjumped tonight

When the wind blows in the treetops

You'll see this cradle rock

Hear this baby call, see this baby fall

'Cause I've seen it, I've touched it, I've held it, I've heard it all before

When these kids come to me with their hopes and their dreams wanting me to open doors

And I'll tell them

Salvador told me, Salvador told me

To tell you the song was a hit but the band was a miss

Salvador he told me, Salvador told me

Nobody on fantasy island is going to buy this

I'm the gatekeeper's son

Proud of what I've become

Hold the keys to so many lives

Won't someone please unlock mine?

'Cause I've seen it, I've touched it, I've held it, I've heard it all before

When these kids come to me with their hopes and their dreams

And I dash them to the floor

And I'll tell them

Salvador told me, Salvador told me

To tell you the song was a hit but the band was a miss

Salvador he told me, Salvador told me

Nobody in their right minds will listen to this

'Cause I've seen it, I've touched it, I've held it, I've heard it all before

When these kids come to me, confessionally

I say - what are you here for?

And I'll tell them

Salvador told me, Salvador told me

To tell you the song was a hit but the band was a miss

And Salvador told me, Salvador told me

Nobody on fantasy island is going to buy this

So sing me to sleep

I won't need to count sheep

No the fields will be quiet tonight

Gates and fences unjumped tonight
