[00:18.90]Grandma, my sleep is narrow
[00:23.33]Bid you bring me some strong drink
[00:27.82]Strain out the pulps and set them close outside
[00:32.27]For when my belly, for when my little belly speaks
[00:37.09]Grandma, there's air beneath my bed
[00:41.80]And it whispers, and it whispers when I rest
[00:46.01]Bid hem skirts in salt and vinegar, vinegar
[00:50.42]And hover closely, oh, hover closely under head
[00:55.32]Grandma, the water is rising
[00:59.40]My boundless hair has gotten green
[01:04.29]I'll be your swimming forest island
[01:08.86]Bid you walk safely, safely over me
[01:14.86]🎵
[01:22.66]Grandma, my hands have wandered
[01:27.24]And my legs, my little legs are getting weak
[01:32.01]Bid lend me your wispy frame
[01:36.57]And guard my powers, guard my precious powers in its cage
[01:41.11]Grandma, I've been unruly
[01:45.72]In my dreams and with my speech
[01:50.04]Drill little holes into my eyelids
[01:54.64]That I might see you, that I might see you when I sleep
[02:03.97]🎵
[02:21.22]Grandma, the water is rising
[02:25.55]By now this hair has gotten green
[02:30.18]I'll be your swimming forest island
[02:34.53]Bid you walk safely, safely over me
[02:41.63]🎵
[02:48.46]I'll be your swimming forest island.
