From the recording Heading Slowly Towards the Beginning
Lyrics
Asleep
Jenny Bienemann
Wake up sleepy, the sun is rising
Calling us to play
Banished is the endless sorrow
The world is new today
Listen to the breezes calling what we have yet to learn
We are children of the ocean longing for return
Clouds are dancing, painting pictures
Loving us with shade
Later on when you get sleepy we’ll visit a friend in bed
In a manger, under starlight, by a maiden fair
A child will take your burdens from you if you’ll leave them there
Oh my love my dearest care
The angels tend you everywhere
Oh my greatest gift of all
The angels catch us when we fall
Asleep
