Deep Swell - You're Not Sleeping lyrics

All I can see daddy Are twinkling stars Remember no difference Where ever you are See that cluster of us in the sky Make it till morning I will stay here tonight My leg slipped down into the ground I pulled it back out and sat with a sigh Looked all around and saw by my side A man with lightning bolts for eyes He sang wa-la-lo I'd often drive out of sight He sang me songs in the morning light Those rides Oh the rides Down in the dewdrops The morning sun Fell apart without the youngest one Watch them change faster than the tides Sweeping the sand back from where they'd come You only can see them one by one Wake up you're not sleeping anymore He sang wa-la-lo Drop me off Pick me up Kept me going Kept me tough Those rides Oh the rides He ran away fast he ran away loud Yelling up at the big grey clouds Why can't they always stay that small? She grew up tall and she grew up right There in the yard before his sight And she never knew that he was old
