Little One

Go to sleep We're so tired now Altogether in a snake pit of souls New days To throw your chains away To try to hang your hopes on the wind Little one Just a little way Today all we need is waiting Night rise Like the evening prize In a turnstile backwards we fly Cold bones Tied together by Black ropes we pulled from a swing Little one Just a little way Today all of the dreams are waking Can't stand on crooked legs I'm cross-eyed to the wall In these harbor lights Satellites explode Drown, drown Sailors run aground In a sea change nothing is safe Strange waves Push us every way In a stolen boat we'll float away Little one Hold on All of the dreams are wasting --- Little One - Beck
