lyrics

Watch the stars as they climb to the sky
They have crawled from their beds where they lie.
And now it’s time for sleep.

Go to bed,
wrap the dark round your chest.
Close your eyes,
think of how you are blessed.

And if the waves crash on the shore of your memory
If the wind whips up your thoughts and fears
till a storm is raging in your head
if the rain falls down your cheeks.

Turn away from that shore,
just walk away.
To the beach where the waves gently play.
And breathe in with the ebb of the tide.
And breathe out with the flow as it sighs.
