Chinese White Lyrics

The bent twig of darkness

Grows the petals of the morning;

It shows to them the birds singing

just behind the dawning.

Come dip into the cloud cream lapping;

I can't keep my hand on the plough

Because it's dying.

But I will lay me down with my arms

round a rainbow,

And I will lay me down to dream.

Oh, will your magic Christmas tree be shining

Gently all around? Incredible String Band - Chinese White - http://motolyrics.com/incredible-string-band/chinese-white-lyrics.html

Climbing up these figures

The sun is tugging at my shoulder.

And, every step I take,

I think my feet are getting older.

I see the crystal dreams unfolding,

I can't keep my eyes on the book because it's mouldring.

But I will lay me down with my arms

round a rainbow,

And I will lay me down to dream.

Oh, will your magic Christmas tree be shining

Gently all around?
