about

a sort of lullaby to a wee girl who kept having nightmares.
Dedicated, appropriately enough, to Susie.

lyrics

Susie's sitting by the fire at midnight, flames in her eyes.
Tears kiss her lips no matter how she tries.
Susie's wondering as sleep slinks out the door. She seems unsure.
“Daddy, why do ghosts and spirits haunt me so?”

Susie, I'll take you to a castle where the flowers lie dreaming,
to a wonderful land.
I'll take you to a meadow where the river's gleaming,
to the waves and the sands.

Susie's snoozing in a room where only queens have lain before,
with gold and silver playthings at her door.
Susie's running to a diamond river glistening in her dreams,
where unicorns and lovebirds drown her screams.

Susie, I'll take you to a castle where the flowers lie dreaming,
to a wonderful land.
I'll take you to a meadow where the river's gleaming,
to the waves and the sands.
