Dream Angus
Annie Lennox · The Annie Lennox Collection [2009]
All the wee lambs are sleepin'
Birdies are nestlin' nestlin' together
Dream Angus is hirplin' o'er ther heather.
Dreams to sell, fine dreams to sell
Angus is here wi' dreams to sell
Hush ye my baby and sleep without fear
Dream Angus has brought you a dream my dear.
List' to the curlew cryin'
Faintly the echoes dyin'
Even the birdies and the beasties are sleepin'
But my bonny bairn is weepin' weepin'
