Sleep Songtext

von John Washburn

I'll slay you a dragon and bury his bones
Under a mountain of shale and stones
I'll bring you a locket, a hundred years old
Inlaid with pearl and gilded with gold
I'll find you a treasure in the ruins of Rome,
But don't worry baby, 'cause I'm coming home.
I'm coming home.

So Sleep, Sleep, Sleep like a child
Cradle your head on my chest
Sleep, Sleep, Sleep like a babe
Lay down your worries and rest

I'll weave you a basket of violets and bay
Picked from the gardens of old Mandalay
I'll gather you seashells, still damp from the foam
But don't worry baby, I'm coming home.
I'm coming home.

So Sleep, Sleep, Sleep like a child
Cradle your head on my chest
Sleep, Sleep, Sleep like a babe
Lay down your worries and rest
