A Night in the Nursery
Come a-hither come a-hither to me under the canopy Pull the sheets up high another milky sky There are oranges and bananas and coffee with cream Try to be patient now while your bother tells his dream I remember a storm and a picnic by the lake I remember the mess a little anger can make I eat my breakfast like the food at a wake Like a little lamb
Put me in the car and take me to my bed There's a train in my blood and it's ringing in my head In a bedroom so dark, a friend is a-napping In the hallway there's a bar and a cane is a-tapping On the floorboards
Carriage lamps flicker past the docks Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And the crooked masts And the palsied and the plagued and the streets of the ash There were children they were singing all the sailors carols Now they're hardluck faces round the fire
So put me in my car and take me to my bed There's a train in my bloodstream and it's ringing in my head It's the sun through the slats that keeps us coming back In the morning there's an overripe meloncholy dog by the fireplace
A cradle the cradle a kiss and a fable The den mothers hover all around you The belle of the ball The wines turned to gall
