| [00:20.93] |
Grandma, my sleepless know |
| [00:25.12] |
that you bring me some strong drink |
| [00:29.56] |
Straighten out the pots and set them close outside |
| [00:33.94] |
for when my belly |
| [00:36.31] |
for when my little belly speaks |
| [00:39.06] |
Grandma, there's air beneath my bed |
| [00:43.44] |
and it whispers |
| [00:45.75] |
and it whispers when I rest |
| [00:47.94] |
with hemmed skirts |
| [00:49.44] |
and salt and vinegar, vinegar |
| [00:52.31] |
and water closely |
| [00:54.50] |
Oh, water closely underhead |
| [00:57.24] |
Grandma, the water is rising |
| [01:01.87] |
By now this hair has gotten green |
| [01:06.00] |
I'll be your swimming fodder starlet |
| [01:10.62] |
when you walk safely, safely |
| [01:14.68] |
over me |
| [01:24.75] |
Grandma, my hands have wondered |
| [01:29.19] |
and my legs |
| [01:31.18] |
my little legs are getting weak |
| [01:34.00] |
Bid, lend me your wispy frame |
| [01:37.93] |
and guard my powers |
| [01:40.00] |
guard my precious powers in its gate |
| [01:43.00] |
Grandma, I've been unruly |
| [01:46.00] |
|
| [01:47.49] |
in my dreams |
| [01:49.18] |
and with my speech |
| [01:51.74] |
Drill little holes into my eyelids |
| [01:54.99] |
that I might see you |
| [01:58.56] |
that I might see you when I sleep |
| [02:20.37] |
|
| [02:23.43] |
Grandmother, the water is rising |
| [02:26.31] |
By now this hair has gotten green |
| [02:31.99] |
I'll be your swimming fodder starlet |
| [02:36.43] |
and you walk safely, safely |
| [02:40.06] |
over me |
| [02:50.49] |
I'll be your swimming fodder starlet |
