Hello my love,
Lay down your head,
And listen to my tune;
I’ll tell you the tale of a night bright and pale,
Where I ran with the path of the moon.
Oh rounded and moony darling,
Oh rounded and moony babe,
Just promise me kisses,
I’ll make ye my missus,
And sing ye the songs of my long bygone days.
She shone bright and clear,
On her face did appear,
A smile that sent my heart singing.
When she lo...
Look at the sky, my love,
And tell me what you see.
Is it the moon
Watching over you and me?
The stars sparkling in my eyes
Shine for you my baby,
My little sweet.
Make a wish for pleasant dreams.
Look at the sky, my love,
And tell me what you see.
Is it the sun
Shining for you and me?
The light in your smile
Sets me free.
Before you, I had my heart
Under lock and key.
Look at the sky, my love...
**Gone was my beloved muse, the puppet I tried to play, and the one I tried to love. But love is not love when you’re loving an image not the person. I am, at bottom, an obsessive spoiled brat, who believed every color, every word, every coincidence, to be a symbol that we were meant to be. I told myself I was letting go of my inhibitions, but why did I find myself contorting my identity, just so ...
**** Lay down and lay sweet. ****
**** Think about momma as you dream, ****
**** Together, hand and hand, ****
**** Momma and baby are dancing in dreamland. ****

**Lay down and lay sweet.**
**Think about Daddy as you dream. **
**Together, hand in hand, Daddy and Baby dance in dreamland. **

Hello, Mr. Reaper!
Are you here for me?
I’m all ready to go- I do decree!
Packed all I need
For this dismal trip
Wherever we may end
On this inter-dimensional starship
I’ll gladly amend,
All the wrongs I’ve done
And all the good ones too!
So long as I can come along
And be at peace in the airy song
Of wind whipped to and fro
As we fly off this planet
to somewhere new
And maybe not ...
Little girl
You, in that crazy mind
Rest your head
And peace you will soon find
Pause the action
The bubbling in that head
Why don’t we focus on sleep
instead?
**[chorus]**
You are worthy
Of all things right
You don’t deserve to
Fall asleep to angry voices
every night
[]
Close your eyes
I know it may be scary
But trust me
Little girl, your mind is weary
All the flaming fires in your...
Little spider crawl
Across the floor to freedom
Closer to your home
Little spider dance
You will see your mama soon
Sweet and scared spider
Little spider slow
You live among the sunshine
Don’t you want to stay?
Little spider
Little spider
Crawling dancing slowing
Falling prancing going
Stalling can’t show you
The way home
Little spider
Little spider
Home is close
Just keep going
And when yo...
