Go to sleep, my baby
Keep those night thoughts away from your head
Let the clock give a tick, the dog give a lick
Your heart beats soundly on your dreamboat bed
Go to sleep, my baby
There is nothing that the morning can't undo
I will watch and weep at your peacely sleep
And make sure the beddy-bugs don't get you
'Cause they'll try to arm you
That's what they do
How do you keep a bleeding heart wide open?
How do you stand directly where you're standing?
Keep your bleeding heart wide open
When you fall what happens when you're landing?
Go to sleep, my baby
The world revolves around your tiny little skull
It will whirr and moan as you hum the drone
That a hurdy-gurdy plays to lift you out of the lull
Go to sleep, my baby
Sleep deep now before the wolly wolly gong
For your sleep is guard 'gainst the cold and hard
A soft shroud of safety in a world gone wrong
'Cause they'll try to arm you
That's what they do
How do you keep a bleeding heart wide open?
How do you stand directly where you're standing?
Keep your bleeding heart wide open
When you fall what happens when you're landing?
When you fall what happens when you're landing?
Landing? You’re landing
