This is a song about traveling the world. It was about 3 months between the time I started writing and when I finished recording.
cheers.
For the Sleeper
Goodnight sleeper when you sleep, I’ll be standing guard in the streets,
Over everything, and everyone,
Goodnight sleeper when you wake, I’ll have been around the world,
Tell you bout the friends I made, tonight,
—
I’m gonna go around the world,
I’m gonna sail through the sea,
I’m gonna ride on a desert train,
I wanna know what’s there for me,
So don’t you wait up for me,
Just lay your pretty head down and dream,
—
Goodnight dreamer when you dream, I’ll be dancin’ round in the rain,
Of another sea, another place,
Goodnight dreamer with the sunrise, I’ll be back again,
Tell you bout the land outside, tonight,
—
I’m gonna go around the world,
I’m gonna sail through the sea,
I’m gonna ride on a desert train,
I wanna hear them call my name,
So don’t you wait up for me,
Just lay your pretty head down and dream,
