they would hold the earth
in their arms
they would learn to watch you
play

I'll co-ver you s-leeping

keep you a-way from the world
so wild
keep you away from the world

Oh my sleep-ing child
the world's so wild
but you've build your own
pa-ra-dise that's one rea-son why
I'll co-ver you s-leeping child
