Lay Down Snow White

There you go
Full of woe
Solo, your lash
As black as coal

Tiptoe here
Tiptoe there
Tiptoe low
Alas, nowhere to go

Shadows lay
Every which old way
Below you in the gloom

One sweep
Of your skirt
Brings a look
From the man in the moon

Shimmer here
Shimmer there
Shimmer low
Make a light inside the shade

To shine
In your pretty little cage
The night made out of rays

I hear the leaves smile and sigh
"Something inside you will guide you"

Lay down, Snow White
The Earth will surely open wide
Roll you in her mind
Solitary fine, Snow White

By day, the birds
Will chirp a little cheer for you
Swing you in their fine
Winged song sublime, Snow White

Don't be afraid
Stay awake
Fret about her
Majesty of woe

Wicked here
Wicked there
Wicked low
How far will she go?

Foul play's passé
Anyway
The clouds wear the crown

I hear the leaves all around sing
"Something inside you will guide you"

Lay down, Snow White
The Earth will surely open wide
Roll you in her mind
Solitary fine, Snow White

By day, the birds
Will chirp a little cheer for you
Swing you in their fine
Winged song sublime, Snow White
