For The Bairns

She'll be sleeping no doubt, she'll be tired out
After being at school all day
She'll be remembering what the teacher told her
Although it never happens that way

But pretty soon I'll tell her that the wickedness and strife
Are only part of living, not life

And the dusty day will have to fade away
As the magic comes along in the night
We'll be sleepy eye'd and together we'll fly
To the land where everything is alright

But pretty soon I'll tell her that the wickedness and strife
Are only part of living, not life

And the dusty day will have to fade away
As the magic comes along in the night
We'll be sleepy eye'd and together we'll fly
To the land where everything is alright
