Sleepy river - sew up my mouth

Think I must have written this after watching some sandals and swords epic.

Sleepy river

Bathe my skin girl
Dress me up in White
Theres no shadows that I fear
Stop my watch
I've no need for time
I'll wake when my lips taste your tears

Lull me to sleep, sleepy river
Lull me to sleep my dear
Lull me to sleepy river
whisper your dreams in my
ears.


Sew up my mouth,
place a penny on each eye
I could sleep for a thousand years
Push off my boat,
heed the ferryman's lies, and
I'll wake when my lips taste your tears

Lull me to sleep, sleepy river
Lull me to sleep my dear
Lull me to sleepy river
whisper your dreams in my
ears.

Running with your eyes closed

Cedit for the key line in this goes to my four year old son. He said he'd fallen over in the playground at school. I asked him how and said "we were running with our eyes closed". Try it, it's fun. But try in on a big beach with no one around - it's safer than a crowded playground.

Try running with your eyes closed
Just as far as you dare
Who'll you run into god knows
But why should you care?

Caped crusaders at cross roads
Taking a stand 
I've seen the roadside matador
Jacket in hand
Says I've fought bulls before
In a suit of lights
Now the horns just call for
The end of my fight

I've seen the whites of
The fortune tellers eyes
Cloud and search for
More half truths and lies
Says I can't work for
These trinkets and rings
With what's in store, you're 
Better off without those things

A blind sculptor whose hands carve
His pieces in stone
only face he carves though
Is that of his own 
Says I can feel that
There's light in his eyes
One thing's for sure though 
A statue never cries

Try running with your eyes closed
With the heart of a child
Try running with your eyes closed
With your arms going wild
You'll soon see that 
Nobody cares
Try running with your eyes closed
Just look out, look out for the stairs

Try running with your eyes closed
Just as far as you dare 
Had a friend called Flatnose
Cos he didn't care

Just blink and wipe my eye

Just blink and wipe my eye by dombailed

I've been walking through these hills for far too long
Tired of talking
tired of waiting on my song
And I don't know where
and I don't know why
Just blink and wipe my eye

Boots keep walking
Feel the souls beneath my feet
Rubbersole man
Making light of who I meet
And I'm not scared
And I'm not high
Just blink and wipe my eye

Girl keep watching
Oxeye daisy kind of stare
hand hopscotching
Combing flowers from here hair
And I won't smile
And I wont cry

On till morning
through these hills I'll wander on
Wander, gazing
Wonder what the hell went wrong
And I don't know where
And I don't know why
Just blink and wipe my eye
