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
