lyrics

Oh darlin’
Please just go to bed
There is so much
Waiting for your dear resting head

You can harvest
Hawthorn as you go
Make your promise
Take your dreamscape
And let down your load

You are waiting
For sleep to come around
But its not coming
Slow arrival to the ground

There are wild flowers
Asters in your dreams
You’ll miss nothing
Awake is just not as good as it seems

Ooooos...

All us grownups
We’ll stumble about the world
And as we wander
You’ll nest away and rest dear little girl

Oh darlin
Please just go to bed
There is so much
Waiting for your dear resting head

You can harvest
Hawthorn as you go
Take your dreamscape
And let down your load
