A lullaby parable about sleeping and sailing.

LITTLE SAILOR
Words by Dennis Speigel, Music by Andy Belling

LITTLE SAILOR, LITTLE SAILOR
ON AN OCEAN OF SLEEP
WITH A PILLOW YOUR MAST TO THE WINDS
LITTLE SAILOR DON?T BE LONELY
CLOSE BESIDE YOU YOU KEEP
MEMORIES OF COMPANIONS AND FRIENDS

GLIDE ALONG ON THE BLUE
EACH MOMENT YOU?RE GONE I?LL BE MISSING YOU
GLIDE ALONG, AND WHEN YOU?RE DONE
YOU?LL SAIL HOME WITH THE MORNING SUN
YOU?LL SAIL HOME WITH THE SUN

LITTLE SAILOR, LITTLE SAILOR
LET THE WAVES GENTLY ROLL
CROSS THE BOW OF YOUR BEDPOSTS TONIGHT
LITTLE SAILOR NAVIGATE HER
FAR FROM ROUGH SEA AND SHOAL
TIL YOU FLOAT ON THE RIPPLED MOONLIGHT

GLIDE ALONG ON THE BLUE
EACH MOMENT YOU?RE GONE I?LL BE MISSING YOU
GLIDE ALONG, AND WHEN YOU?RE DONE
YOU?LL SAIL HOME WITH THE SUN
GLIDE ALONG ON THE BLUE
EACH MOMENT YOU?RE GONE I?LL BE MISSING YOU
GLIDE ALONG, AND WHEN YOU?RE DONE
YOU?LL SAIL HOME WITH THE MORNING SUN
YOU?LL SAIL HOME WITH THE SUN

LITTLE SAILOR, LITTLE SAILOR
ON AN OCEAN OF SLEEP
WITH A PILLOW YOUR MAST TO THE WINDS.

ROSEMARY LANE
Words and Music by Andy Belling


ROSEMARY LANE ISN?T PLAIN IN THE RAIN
LIKE IT IS WHEN IT?S DRY
MY OH MY

FLOWERS RELAXED - SIDEWALKS SHINE LIKE THEY?RE WAXED
ALL ON ROSEMARY LANE IN THE RAIN

SHOWERS WILL WASH THE SMOG AWAY
KEEP THE FOG AT BAY FOR A WHILE
PINK STUCCO CASTLES HAVE MOATS AGAIN
AND THEY SMILE - A FAT PINK SMILE

PEOPPLE COMPLAIN ?BOUT THE RAIN IN THEIR HAIR
BUT?S NOT WORTH A SIGH
MY OH MY

RAINBOWS IN OILPAINTS ON THE GROUND
MIRRORS CAN BE FOUND EVERYWHERE
AND WHEN THE RAIN STOPS - NOT A SOUND
?CEPT THE GRASS BREATHING DEEPLY

SOON FROM THE SKY SUN WILL DRY ALL AROUND
AND I?M WAITING AGAIN
FOR THE FIRST SIGN OF RAIN
TO DESCEND ON MY ROSEMARY LANE

Prince-like song about meeting at the "corner of dream and reality"

CORNER of DREAM & REALITY
Words and Music by Andy Belling

WALK ALONG THE BACK ROADS WITH ME
LEAVE THE LOUD AND CROWDED HIGHWAY
MAKE YOUR WAY THROUGH FORESTS AND A STREAM OR TWO
ONCE YOU'RE OVER NEVER MOUNTAIN
THERE'S A LAND THAT WAITS TO WELCOME YOU
LOOK AROUND AND YOU WILL SEE
THERE ARE NO FENCES TO SURROUND YOU
EVERYONE IS FREE TO GO THE WAY THEY CHOOSE
ONCE YOU'VE BEEN HERE YOU WILL KNOW
THE FEAR O THE UNKNOWN IS ALL YOU LOSE

COME ALONG AND PLAY WITH ME
AT THE CORNER OF DREAM AND REALITY
WHAT A FINE PLACE TO BE
AT THE CORNER O DREAM AND REALITY

IN THIS LAND BEYOND THE MOUNTAIN
WATER FLOWS AS CLEAR AS NOTHING
AND THE AIR IS SWEETER THAN A MEMORY
WON'T YOU JOIN ME ON THE JOURNEY
I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE YOU THERE WITH ME

COME ALONG AND PLAY WITH ME
AT THE CORNER OF DREAM AND REALITY
WHAT A FINE PLACE TO BE
AT THE CORNER O DREAM AND REALITY

FAR FROM ALL THE BUSY SIDEWALKS
LIES A LAND OF GOLDEN SUNSHINE
FILLED WITH ALL THE BEAUTY YOU COULD EVER SEE
HERE IN YOUR IMAGINATION
EVERYTHING IS AS IT OUGHT TO BE

COME ALONG AND PLAY WITH ME
AT THE CORNER OF DREAM AND REALITY
WHAT A FINE PLACE TO BE
AT THE CORNER O DREAM AND REALITY

A lullaby about the three children's characters

Wynken, Blynken and Nod
Words and Music by Andy Belling



THREE LITTLE BOYS CROSS A SLEEPY LAGOON
CHARTING THEIR WAY THRU NIGHT-TIME
DRIFTING ALONG PAST A WARM HARVEST MOON
THEY KNOW THAT THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME
THE WATER IS GENTLE
THE WAVES BREAK WITH EASE
THEY FLOAT THRU THE SKY ON A DRY SUMMER BREEZE

WYNKEN, BLYNKEN AND NOD
ON THEIR WAY TO DREAMLAND
SURFIN? THRU THE CLOUDS ON A FANTASY
STEERING NBY THE LIGHT FROM A BRIGHT MOONBEAM, AND
SAILING THE STARRY SKY LIKE A DEEP BLUE SEA

IF THEY RUN AGROUND ON A MARSHMELLOW CLOUD
IT?S ONLY A MOMENT TAKEN
THEY?LL SOON BE AWAY ON A WAVE OF THE WIND
THAT CARRIES THEM TIL THEY WAKEN
WITH CANDYCANE HOOKS THEY WILL FISH FOR A STAR
AND CATCH THEM A FEW TO TAKE HOME IN A JAR

WYNKEN, BLYNKEN AND NOD
ON THEIR WAY TO DREAMLAND
SURFIN? THRU THE CLOUDS ON A FANTASY
STEERING NBY THE LIGHT FROM A BRIGHT MOONBEAM, AND
SAILING THE STARRY SKY LIKE A DEEP BLUE SEA
