Beyond my own expenses
Lies the land of milk and honey
Outside my own defenses
I am funny
Where life is like a circus
Full of scares and thrills and worries
But you know it's all a ruse
To earn your money
Back again to all those cares
Familiar now as bedtime stairs
The latest horrors put to sleep
Goodnight to sailors on the deep
Before me is a partner
Who will be just as a blanket
To keep me warm in winter and tonight
I know the time is coming
For the sun to shine again
When he does you'll find me running
For the pen
So here's the answer to your prayer
Can you be happy without fear
Before I leave this island
I will dig up all my treasures
And leave it for you freely
Without measure
Because the gift of music
Is greater than the pleasure
Of finding golden pennies
Or so it says here
Back again to all those cares
Familiar now as bedtime stairs
The latest horrors put to sleep
Goodnight to sailors on the deep
