The Cooper Temple Clause - Lapitu (Bedtime Story) lyrics

As I lie with you Hear your request Tell me a tale To send me to sleep Just give me peace from the secrets I keep Alone on an airship Away in the clouds Saw it on TV Barely a child I know it exists I just can't find the fall Its bronze was all stale Seven feet tall Gardener cared for the greenery And all I can do Is sing this to you Silently hoping that you will remain So I may sing stories to you once again Its all I remember The Japanese dream A boy and a girl who fell from the sky He licks the wounds, wipes the tears from her eyes She wept and cried for those who had died in the fall But all they may do Is just stick together Sit this one out Aching as ever Shells fly, the night sky, the airship is just out of reach Just see it through It won't last forever Just keep the light and the tale that I told And all of the dreams you and I stand to fall Naked and tired I guess I'll be fine All that I ask is don't cut the line just yet
