Settle Down by Jim Bennett 5/27/98 © Bennett

Verse 1
Once upon a time hearts were gold and love was blind
But that day is far away
The kings and the castles, the princess in despair
Settle down me and I'll take you there

Chorus
Settle down, settle down with me
We'll watch the full moon rising
Settle down, settle down with me
Oh, listen to the night hounds crying

Verse 2
And when the clock strikes midnight
The carriage keeps going and we hold tight
We'll run away just you and me
No one will ever know where it was that we did go
It will be our mystery

Chorus
Settle down, settle down with me
We'll watch the full moon rising
Settle down, settle down with me
Oh, listen to the night hounds crying

Bridge
Scratching at the door the hounds are gonna break inside
Peering through the window feeling like we're paralyzed
Hold on tonight, tonight
We're gonna run like the wind there's no where left to hide
Don't fear there's nowhere left to hide, nowhere left to hide, nothing left to hide
No, no, no.....

Chorus
Settle down, settle down with me
We'll watch the full moon rising
Settle down, settle down with me
Oh, listen to the night hounds crying
