Taps (Gamma Is Done)

Taps (Gamma is done)

Fading light dims the room
As Gamma says it's time for nigh, crying boy
Walking out saying nigh,
Closes the door

Dinner's done, gone my kids
From the couch, from the home, from the block
All is silent, dogs rest;
Time for nigh.

Gamma naps, peaceful sighs;
Till the time of the afternoon strikes three
Sleep is near, closes my eyes
Friend, bye bye.

---------------------

To the tune of Taps (Day is Done)
Fading light dims the sight
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright
From afar drawing nigh,
Falls the night.

Day is done, gone the sun
From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky
All is well, safely rest;
God is nigh.

Then goodnight, peaceful night;
Till the light of the dawn shineth bright.
God is near, do not fear,
Friend, goodnight.
