Lapitu (bedtime Story) Lyrics

As I lie with you

Hear your request

Tell me a tale

To send me to sleep

Just give me peace from the secrets I keep



Alone on an airship

Away in the clouds

Saw it on TV

Barely a child

I know it exists I just can’t find the fall



Its bronze was all stale

Seven feet tall

Gardener cared for the greenery



And all I can do

Is sing this to you

Silently hoping that you will remain

So I may sing stories to you once again



Its all I remember

The Japanese dream

A boy and a girl who fell from the sky

He licks the wounds, wipes the tears from her eyes

She wept and cried for those who had died in the fall



But all they may do

Is just stick together

Sit this one out,

Aching as ever

Shells fly, the night sky, the airship is just out of reach



Just see it through

It won’t last forever

Just keep the light and the tale that I told

And all of the dreams you and I stand to fall



Naked and tired

I guess I’ll be fine

All that I ask is don’t cut the line just yet
