lyrics

I Bid You Goodnight

I'd twist the world,
And crush the distance,
I miss your words,
I wish you could sense,
The tang of the brine in my hair,
Hear calling of gulls in the air.

Touch the ground and be sure I'll feel it,
The rushing sound,
Of your heart beating,
A Million and two lonely miles,
Between this song and a sleepy, "Goodnight".

There are lions and tigers and maniacal sprites,
All manner of mischievous beasties abroad in the night,
So sleep tight,
And hope with every ounce of your might,
That the crawlies and creepers and tigers won't bite,
I bid you,
Goodnight.

The Sun and Moon,
Play catch-if-you-can,
Sensual jewels, guiding our way back,
The sun kissed horizon burns twice,
Beacons that call in your eyes.

There are lions and tigers and maniacal sprites,
All manner of mischievous beasties abroad in the night,
So sleep tight,
And hope with every ounce of your might,
That the crawlies and creepers and tigers won't bite,
I bid you,
Goodnight.

I will keep you safe from harm,
While you keep me warm in your arms.

There are lions and tigers and maniacal sprites,
All manner of mischievous beasties abroad in the night,
So sleep tight,
And hope with every ounce of your might,
That the crawlies and creepers and tigers won't bite,
I bid you,
Goodnight.
