Lyrics
The bent twig of darkness Grows the petals of the morning; It shows to them the birds singing Just behind the dawning Come dip into the cloud cream lapping; I can't keep my hand on the plough Because it's dying
But I will lay me down with my arms Round a rainbow And I will lay me down to dream Oh, will your magic christmas tree be shining Gently all around?
Climbing up these figures The sun is tugging at my shoulder And, every step I take I think my feet are getting older I see the crystal dreams unfolding I can't keep my eyes on the book because it's mouldring
But I will lay me down with my arms Round a rainbow And I will lay me down to dream Oh, will your magic christmas tree be shining Gently all around?
