Cover art for Lullabye lyrics by Ben Folds Five

I love how the piano music sounds almost gospel-like with some jazz in it.

I always thought this song was a euphemism for someone dying. (the sleeping representing death..) It seemed as if the second stanza (scene with flying in the airplane).. described him and part of his family flying out to go to the funeral.

Maybe?
