For The Bairns - Alan Hull, Ray Jackson, Ken Craddock

She’ll be sleeping no doubt, she’ll be tired out

After being at school all day

She’ll be remembering what the teacher told her

Although it never happens that way

But pretty soon I’ll tell her that the wickedness and strife

Are only part of living, not life

And the dusty day will have to fade away

As the magic comes along in the night

We’ll be sleepy eye’d and together we’ll fly

To the land where everything is alright

But pretty soon I’ll tell her that the wickedness and strife

Are only part of living, not life

And the dusty day will have to fade away

As the magic comes along in the night

We’ll be sleepy eye’d and together we’ll fly

To the land where everything is alright
