Sleep, Little Dreamer

(album: Edges Run - 2018)

Go to sleep now, little dreamer
'Cos waking is done
And there'll be dreams there for the taking
Now the waking day is done
They'll be brighter than a pot o' gold
And sweeter than a honeycomb
Go to sleep now, little dreamer, the waking day is done

Go to sleep now, little dreamer
It's resting time
There'll be rest there for the sleepers
If you close your little eyes
There'll be open seas and sandy shores
Cedar trees and sycamores
Go to sleep now, little dreamer
It's waking time no more

Both the rising and the setting ones
There'll be rest enough for the dreamer now the day is done
Slowly come the morning light
The stars give way to sun [?]
Sleep now, little dreamer, the waking day is done

Go to sleep now, little dreamer
It's growing dark
And as you rest there with the sleepers
Know that dreamers play their part
They're a pair of wings on a ball and chain
A bourbon coat in the pouring rain
Go to sleep now, little dreamer
The dark is here again

Both the rising and the setting ones
There'll be rest enough for the dreamer now the day is done
Slowly come the morning light
The stars give way to sun [?]
Sleep now, little dreamer, the waking day is done
Sleep now little dreamer, the waking day is done
