Sleeves
One tired back and two sore feet
This restless traveller's got nowhere to sleep
Hungry now and feeling the cold
A lot to handle at seven years old
The rain plays hide and seek
And drips down on to
Her blushing cheek
Little girl, don't you cry
I'll stay by your cradle all through the night
Go to sleep, close those eyes
I'll still be right here in this lullaby
Ten years on and still on the streets,
The orange lamplight crawls onto her feet
Autumn's gone and winter's cold:
Another long night at seventeen years old
The rain plays hide and seek
And drips down on to
Her frozen cheek
My darling, my dear, it's okay to cry:
I'll stay by your cradle all through the night
And if you're ready to give up the fight
Lay right here, close those eyes
This restless traveller's got nowhere to sleep
Hungry now and feeling the cold
A lot to handle at seven years old
The rain plays hide and seek
And drips down on to
Her blushing cheek
Little girl, don't you cry
I'll stay by your cradle all through the night
Go to sleep, close those eyes
I'll still be right here in this lullaby
Ten years on and still on the streets,
The orange lamplight crawls onto her feet
Autumn's gone and winter's cold:
Another long night at seventeen years old
The rain plays hide and seek
And drips down on to
Her frozen cheek
My darling, my dear, it's okay to cry:
I'll stay by your cradle all through the night
And if you're ready to give up the fight
Lay right here, close those eyes
