Sleep 03:34
I was walking Moon was shining Something follows me In the night sky Stars find eyes Hypnotised by trees Send me now to sleep Send me now to sleep When my eyes closed Darkness all round Shadows follow me I surrender hope for stillness They're awaiting me Leave me now to sleep Leave me now to sleep I am talking eyes find faces Hypnotising me It is strong but I am wilful Will it leave me be Take it now from me Send it down to sleep I was walking Moon was shining Something follows me In the night sky Stars find eyes Hypnotised by trees Send me now to sleep Send me now to sleep
2.
Nothing 03:10
I see everything I see nothing I see everything and nothing I feel nothing I am the new one the old one the young one that grows old inside I see everything and nothing I feel nothing A grain amongst the single a leaf turned to mulch an acorn ripe for harvest deemed to have grown too much For I am of the sky as I fly down the broken runway swaying through half waking dreams and sleep walking through the day I know everything about you But I can't fathom you at all

Georgie 04:12
Once I had such a good little boy A pretty boy quick as any He could run five miles in one half an hour A letter to pardon my Georgie For what has Georgie done in Shooters Hill Is it steeling or murdering any? Oh he stole sixteen of the lord judges deer And sold them down under the valley O Saddle me up cried my lily-white breast O Saddle me up to my pony With bright guns in my hands and a sword at my side I’ll fight you for the life of my Georgie And Georgie's fathered six babes loved And Georgie's fathered six babes loved There's a seventh one into my body But i'm willing to part with all I have got If you'll spare me the life of my Georgie And George shall be hanged in the frames of gold And the frames of gold you won't find many But i'm willing to part with all I have got If you'll spare me the life of my Georgie Spare me the life of my Georgie Fight for the life of my Georgie Spare me the life of my Georgie For what has Georgie done on Shooter's Hill Was it stealing or murdering any? Oh he stole sixteen of the lord judge's deer And sold them down under the valley Once I had such a good little boy A pretty boy quick as any He could run five miles in one half an hour A letter to pardon my Georgie
