[Verse 1]
Lay down your head
My love
Pillow like a tiny cloud
Tuck in your teddy bear
We’ll turn the daylight down
Little toes under the sheet
One deep breath
In and out
All of the busy things
Can stay outside for now
[Chorus]
Drifting
Little dreamer
Sailing out to sea
On a quiet
Cozy ocean
Come and sleep with me
Drifting
Little dreamer
Moon is keeping watch
Every star is blinking softly
Like a sleepy clock
[Verse 2]
Today you ran and laughed
Built your castles on the floor
Now all the toys can rest
They’re not racing anymore
Tiny cars in their lane
Blocks in a sleepy stack
Dolls all closing their eyes
They’ll wait till you come back
[Chorus]
Drifting
Little dreamer
Sailing out to sea
On a quiet
Cozy ocean
Come and sleep with me
Drifting
Little dreamer
Moon is keeping watch
Every star is blinking softly
Like a sleepy clock
[Verse 3]
Listen
The house is calm
Kitchen whispers fading slow
Footsteps are far away
Voices turning low
Curtains are breathing light
In and out
Like you
Nighttime is tucking in
The rooftops and the roofs
[Chorus]
Drifting
Little dreamer
Sailing out to sea
On a quiet
Cozy ocean
Come and sleep with me
Drifting
Little dreamer
Moon is keeping watch
Every star is blinking softly
Like a sleepy clock
[Verse 4]
Somewhere a kitten yawns
Curling by a chair
Birds in the tallest tree
Hide their heads in feathers there
Buses have closed their eyes
Cars are in gentle lines
Even the clocks are tired
Quieting all their chimes
[Chorus]
Drifting
Little dreamer
Sailing out to sea
On a quiet
Cozy ocean
Come and sleep with me
Drifting
Little dreamer
Moon is keeping watch
Every star is blinking softly
Like a sleepy clock
[Verse 5]
I’ll be right here
You know
Sitting by your bed
Counting your peaceful breaths
Kissing your sleepy head
If you should drift awake
Wondering where I am
Reach out your little hand
Hold on to my hand
[Chorus]
Drifting
Little dreamer
Sailing out to sea
On a quiet
Cozy ocean
Come and sleep with me
Drifting
Little dreamer
Moon is keeping watch
Every star is blinking softly
Like a sleepy clock
[Verse 6]
Think of a gentle hill
Blanketed in green
Little lambs curled tight
Breathing slow and clean
Think of a silver cloud
Carrying you low
Floating by lazy stars
Watching you below
[Chorus]
Drifting
Little dreamer
Sailing out to sea
On a quiet
Cozy ocean
Come and sleep with me
Drifting
Little dreamer
Moon is keeping watch
Every star is blinking softly
Like a sleepy clock
[Verse 7]
One little sleepy eye
Closing by and by
Then comes the other one
Waving you goodnight
Thoughts like balloons let go
Floating to the sky
All of the busy things
Softly passing by
[Chorus]
Drifting
Little dreamer
Sailing out to sea
On a quiet
Cozy ocean
Come and sleep with me
Drifting
Little dreamer
Moon is keeping watch
Every star is blinking softly
Like a sleepy clock
[Verse 8]
Tomorrow will wait for you
Games and running feet
Colors and sunny songs
Stories bright and sweet
Now is the time for rest
Nothing you have to do
Just be my drowsy child
Sleep till the morning’s new
[Chorus]
Drifting
Little dreamer
Sailing out to sea
On a quiet
Cozy ocean
Come and sleep with me
Drifting
Little dreamer
Moon is keeping watch
Every star is blinking softly
Like a sleepy clock
[Outro]
Drifting
Little dreamer
Soft as you can be
Close your eyes and cuddle close
You are safe with me
Drifting
Little dreamer
Deep and calm and slow
I’ll be here till morning
