E Em/G
The bent twig of darkness
B7 E
Grows the petals of the morning
E Em/G
It shows to them the birds singing
B7 E
Just behind the dawning
E7 A E
Come dip into the cloud cream lapping
E Em/G B7
I can't keep my hand on the plough
B7
Because it's dying
E A B7
But I will lay me down with my arms
E
Round a rainbow
E Em/G E B7 E B7
And I will lay me down to dream
E
Oh, will your magic
A B7
Christmas tree be shining
E B7 E
Gently all around?
E Em/G
Climbing up these figures
B7 E
The sun is tugging at my shoulder
E Em/G
And every step I take
B7 E
I think, my feet are getting older
E7 A E
I see the crystal dreams unfolding
E Em/G B7
I can't keep my eyes on the book
B7
Because it's mouldering
E A B7
But I will lay me down with my arms
E
Round a rainbow
E Em/G E B7 E B7
And I will lay me down to dream
E
Oh, will your magic
A B7
Christmas tree be shining
E B7 E
Gently all around?
