I awoke the dawn
Saw horses growing out the lawn
ah...
ah...

I glimpsed a bat with butterfly wings
Oh, what marvelous things
ah...
ah...

Dark night, hold tight
And sleep tight my baby
Morning light shall burst bright
And keep us here safely

I followed a rabbit
Through rows of mermaid-entwined shrubbery
ah...
ah...

Oh, what marvelous things
But they are, they are, they are
Giving me the creeps

Dark night, hold tight
And sleep tight my baby
Morning light shall burst bright
And keep us here safely

Oh, lying in the sun
Everyday feeling all of
the magic in life and the wonder

Dark night, hold tight
And sleep tight my baby
Morning light shall burst bright
And keep us here safely

Morning light shall burst bright
And keep us here safely
Ah...
Ah...

Good song, but they have better on this CD, in my opinion.

I love it too...I ended up buying the album after hearing it once on this station. Some of Eisley's songs have really stuck in my head, and I like the rich production and kind of post-goth imagery. David

The "vocal acrobatics" really completely ruin this otherwise OK song.

Wouldn't mind the "vocal acrobatics" if, perhaps, it was a better voice. GAH! This must be what icepicks jammed into the ear feels like.

This entire ablmum is pretty amazing. I don't think this is the best song on it, but its still a good one.

Normally I like the Cardigans and Leigh Nash, whom this singer sounds like, but in this song it just sounds like she's wailing, and it's a bit disturbing. Other than that the song is decent.
I have to agree--I find her voice to be exceedingly annoying, maybe it's my speakers though (or lack thereof--i'm at work and it's just coming through the laptop.)

Bill it's not new I think this single was released in 2003. But it's new to you!!! Great local Dallas band. Kind of weird to see them live when you are watching drinking a beer and half the group is not even 21.

I kindof dig the vocal acrobatics.

These girls grew up in a town 30 minutes away from mine. Pretty talented group.

I'm quickly realizing that I'm a big fan of the mellotron (sp?). This song is nice, but nothing to rock my socks off.
