REASON ENOUGH

Lyrics: Eliza Gilkyson & Andreas Vollenweider
Music, Compose, Arranged & Produced: Andreas Vollenweider
Album: Eolian Minstrel
Track: 4

All the king's men stand still in a thunder storm
Diamonds of rain on the skin of the battle worn
Eyes touching eyes in the sight of their long range guns

The bough that breaks the cradle falls
Could this be reason enough
The beast that down to Eden crawls
Reason enough

Starting into the depths of the darkest dream
Hurling your stones in the eye of the war machine
Howling like wolves to the moon for the sons of our daughters

The bough that breaks the cradle falls
Could this be reason enough
The beast that down to Eden crawls
Reason enough

Little drops of the water
Little grains of sand
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land

The bough that breaks the cradle falls
Could this be reason enough
The beast that down to Eden crawls
This could be reason enough

Hush little baby, dry your eyes
Claro que si, reason enough
Stars will fall for love to rise
Reason enough

Lady Bug, Lady Bug ? fly away
Your house is on fire ? your children are gone

All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again

She went to the cupboard
The cupboard was bare

Eight little indians never heard of heaven
One went to sleep and then there were seven

Ashes, ashes we all fall down

Hark, hark the dogs do bark
Beggars are coming to town

And if the great man cut down the great tree
What a splish-splash that would be
