lyrics

BEDTIME STORIES HIGH

Summer fades and I’ll be gone
Better face these nights alone
So I’ll walk the earth
Nowhere to be found
From the cradle to the grave
Always in chains – forever slaved
I’ll get my days of mirth
Another time around

Bridge: But I’ll always be here – for you

CH
I’ll tell you bedtime stories high
Make them ten times beautiful
Some will swim and some will fly
But in the end, they’ll come to you
In your sleep
And tell you softly baby
Not to worry
Not to worry

Am I the son of pioneers
Or a coward with a spear?
Sail the seven seas
And find out they’re the same
There are no answers to be found
Only forgiveness and the ground
If you can hear my pleas
Know that I’m to blame

Bridge: But I’ll always be here – for you

CH
I’ll tell you bedtime stories high
Make them ten times beautiful
Some will swim and some will fly
But in the end, they’ll come to you
In your sleep
And tell you softly baby
Not to worry
Not to worry

Bridge: But I’ll always be here – for you

CH
I’ll tell you bedtime stories high
Make them ten times beautiful
Some will swim and some will fly
But in the end, they’ll come to you
In your sleep
And tell you softly baby
Not to worry
I’ll hurry to get home
And tell you bedtime stories high
Make them ten times beautiful
Some will swim and some will fly
But in the end, they’ll come to you
In your sleep
And tell you softly baby
Not to worry
Don’t you worry…
