And still his dreaming eyes are full of sails The tree-house leaves the peach-tree like a bird In time the swelling bark takes in the nails Of those adventures nothing more is heard Easy Let him sleep now Not a word He's losing what he hardly knew was there The lead dragoons pack up and quit the tray The early snowfalls lift into the air The Road of Silk rolls backward from Cathay Easy Let him sleep now Come away His fondest memories have left their mark For just so long as lipstick on a glass The highway scatters jewellery through the dark The circus leaves a circle on the grass Easy Let him sleep now Let it pass | |||||
