Baby, baby, brush the dust of youth from your shoulder |
|
Because the years if threading daisys lies behind you now |
|
Don't return to fields of green where rainbow secrets were told |
|
Place your ragged doll with all the toys and things and deeds |
|
I will show you a game where the winner never wins |
|
Let your hair hang down, wear the dress your mother wore |
|
Let me sleep beside you |
|
Lock away your childhood and throw away the key |
|
For now the streets and city sounds will burn your eyes as coals |
|
We shall drink the oldest wine and velvet skies will linger |
|
Child, you're a woman now, your heart and soul are free |
|
I will boldly light that lamp and we shall walk together |
|
Let your hair hang down, wear the dress your mother wore |
|
Let me sleep beside you |
|
Your darkened eyes throw mystery |
|
But your lips are void of history |
|
You could not imagine that it could happen this way, could you |
|
I will give you dreams and i'll tell you things you'll like to hear |
|
Let your hair hang down, wear the dress your mother wore |
|
Let me sleep beside you |
|
Let me sleep beside you |
