about

My original notes for this song say that it came to me in a dream, and that a girl I haven't seen since elementary school sang it. I don't remember this dream and have no idea who the girl was. My notes indicate that I didn't quite remember the song from the dream, and what we have is an attempted reconstruction. I wrote the lyrics in 2002 and let them sit for a few years.

In remixing this recording for this collection, I discovered a vocal track for two other songs: "Winter Petal" and "Parcels Over Germany." What I had done was record a new piece of music, and tested out several lyrics I had set aside. The lullaby won, but now I wonder what will become of the others.

Written 5 January 2002 (words), 27 May 2006 (music).

lyrics

Wrap yourself up inside a dream
The world is not always what it seems
Put away your doubts and fears
And make room for happier years

Sleep now, rest well
Tomorrow will still come
Dream of how the best shall
call sorrow to succumb

Wrap yourself up inside a dream
with whistling robins and sunbeams
The day is closing to an end
but it will be back soon again

Sleep now, rest well
Tomorrow will still come
Dream of how the best shall
call sorrow to succumb

The things some people say to you
Would not be so if they only knew
that the world is not always what it seems
so wrap yourself up inside a dream
