22 Sep 08 - 05:56 PM (#2447644) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tom Paxton Song From: Tootler Google "Tom Paxton". There are plenty of sites with Lyrics on. You might even get a link to his own site <g> |

23 Sep 08 - 08:32 PM (#2448578) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tom Paxton Song From: Jim Dixon ONE SHIP IS SAILING appears on 2 of Tom Paxton's albums: "Peanut Butter Pie" (1992) and "American Troubadour" (2003). I was able to transcribe this much from a couple of sound samples: One star is shining, high in the evening sky, Just over baby's head, soft as a lullaby. That's where the sun man lives, down with the sandman's lies (?) Here comes the.... ...kiss in the silver sand. Blow, blow, the breezes blow, cooling the baby's brow. Soft, soft, the breezes blow. Baby's sleeping now. Soft, soft, the breezes blow. Baby's sleeping now. |

One ship is sailing Off to a faraway land Blue water rippling Kissing the silver sand Blow, blow, the breezes blow Cooling the baby's brow Soft, soft, the breezes move Baby's sleeping now Soft, soft, the breezes move Baby's sleeping now One star is shining High in the evening sky Just over baby's head Soft as a lullaby That's where the Sandman lives Down where the Sandman lies Here comes the Sandman now Closing the baby's eyes (For future reference if anyone else comes looking!) |

The Sandman puts sand in children's eyes when it's time for them to go to sleep. Actually, that's just a a story someone started because children rub their eyes when they are tired. |
