Fighting with lions and tigers and bears There's no hope Wait by the tree in the forest of despair There's no hope Somewhere I hear them cry for me I never wanted the sympathy It echoes in the night Vibrates through the tree Wakes up my solace into a dream Sleep little child Stay in this state for a while And I'll sing a prayer for thee Awake every night from a dream Sift through the ashes from campers and kids They left town Largess and garbage and letters and bounds They left town Lisa is silent has not speak to me Angie is dumb but as sweet as can be The love of my life, she won't come back and stay I'm left with my thoughts I am left with this tree Sleep little child Stay for a while
