Sleep, Little Sorcerer

[Intro: Music Box] [Lullaby] The moon's in the window, the key's in my hand Sleep, little sorcerer, sleep while you can [Instrumental: Bass and Organ Ostinato] [Verse] You came up my hill with your books and your rings Talking of curses and terrible things You thought you were hunting, you thought I was prey I poured you some wine and I asked you to stay [Pre-Chorus] I fell, I admit it, I fell like a stone But what a witch falls for, a witch makes her own [Chorus] Hush now, my sorcerer, hush I've bound you with thirteen red knots Your name in the wax and your hair in a jar And every clock in the house has stopped Sleep, little sorcerer, sleep [Verse] But you're not the first one who climbed up my hill Look at the gold in a row on the sill I buried the others where nobody knew I kept just their rings, but I'll keep all of you [Bridge: Ticking Clock] Twelve knots for the hours and one for your heart And I tied the last one myself, in the dark [Chorus] Hush now, my sorcerer, hush I've bound you with thirteen red knots Your name in the wax and your hair in a jar And every clock in the house has stopped Sleep, little sorcerer, sleep [Lullaby] The moon's in the window, the key's in my hand Sleep, little sorcerer. Sleep. And stay. [End: Music Box Winds Down]
