The unusual title is that way because Ian wanted to convey that the song was meant equally for men (Francis) and women (Frances).
Go to sleep now, Franci/es
You've done all you can with the day
Safe and sound now, that's a promise
You'll be welcome in the milky way
Tumble down, tired and true
Spirit to restore, a balance is due
Go to sleep now, Franci/es, close your eyes
Hang your thoughts up, shut the index
It's time to impose a curfew
And you'll get up fresh and ready
With a hundred and one things to do
Drowsy now, here comes a space
Call a halt to the steeple chase
Go to sleep, Franci/es, close your eyes
If your life or some old lover cause concern
Or puzzle or perturb
The more you discover, the more you learn
Go to sleep now
Please do not disturb
Tumble down, tired and true
Spirit to restore, a balance is due
Go to sleep now, Franci/es
Close your eyes
Go to sleep now, Franci/es
Close your eyes
Go to sleep now, Franci/es
Go to sleep
Franci/es
Franci/es
