[00:08.418]Baby, baby, brush the dust of youth from off your shoulder
[00:14.671]Because the years of fretting days is right behind you
[00:21.412]Don't return to the fields of green where rainbow secrets were told
[00:28.911]Place your ragged doll with all the toys and things and deeds
[00:34.671][Pre-Chorus]
[00:36.908]I will show you a game where the winner never wins
[00:43.408][Chorus]
[00:44.420]Let your hair hang down
[00:47.417]Wear the dress your mother wore
[00:51.412]Let me sleep beside you
[00:55.416][Verse 2]
[00:57.409]Lock away your childhood and throw away the key
[01:08.915]For now the streets and city sounds will burn your eyes as coals
[01:15.904]We shall drink the oldest wine, velvet skies will linger
[01:23.408]Child, you're a woman, your heart and soul are free
[01:30.920][Pre-Chorus]
[01:31.667]I will hold a lighted lamp and we shall walk together
[01:37.905][Chorus]
[01:38.672]Let your hair hang down
[01:41.667]Wear the dress your mother wore
[01:46.167]Let me sleep beside you
[01:49.157][Bridge]
[01:50.165]Your darkened eyes throw mystery
[01:52.674]But your lips are void of history
[01:56.657]You could not imagine that it could happen this way, could you
[02:04.427][Pre-Chorus]
[02:19.157]I will give you dreams and I'll tell you things you'd like to hear
[02:26.420][Chorus]
[02:29.410]Let your hair hang down
[02:30.669]Wear the dress your mother wore
[02:33.911]Let me sleep beside you
[02:38.163]I said let your hair hang down
[02:41.163]Wear the dress your mother wore
[02:45.164]Let me sleep beside you
