Lyrics for For The Bairns
She'll be sleeping no doubt, she'll be tired out After being at school all day She'll be remembering what the teacher told her Although it never happens that way. But pretty soon I'll tell her that the wickedness and strife Are only part of living, not life. And the dusty day will have to fade away As the magic comes along in the night We'll be sleepy eye'd and together we'll fly To the land where everything is alright. But pretty soon I'll tell her that the wickedness and strife Are only part of living, not life. And the dusty day will have to fade away As the magic comes along in the night We'll be sleepy eye'd and together we'll fly To the land where everything is alright.
