Stay Away

You came to say goodbye, my dear
Came to say it all
My heart is sore but not for you
I'm sure I'll be hangin' on
Go and stay away my dear
We've come to reach the end
Go and shed no tear my dear
Cause it's all fine by me
You said you weren't strong enough
At least that's what I heard
Well then I've got nothing to add my love
I think that's pretty accuracte
Go and stay away my dear
I will not shed a tear
Go and stay away, and stay away
Don't come round this way
I wish I could tell you my mother never liked you
Though she likes everyone
Well that ain't true but it doesn't really matter now
Cause you'll stay gone
Go and stay away my dear
I will not shed a tear
Go and stay away, and stay away
It's all fine by me
By me, by me
By me, by me
By me, by me
I think of you in the orange hour a hundred flies circling my head
I think of you, how you're such a coward
Then decide to think of something else instead
Ooooo

Rock-a-bye Baby

Rock-a-bye baby, gently you swing
Over your cradle, your mother will sing
Sweet lullabies over your nest
Will tenderly sing my baby to rest.
Rockabye baby on the treetop
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
When the bow breaks the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby
Cradle and all
Cradle and all
Cradle and all
Down will come baby
Down will come baby
Down will come baby
Cradle and all

The Sorrowing

Take me to the sorrowing so that we may be joined
Gently hold me
For death is but a seeding I can’t see it as the end
Tenderly come to me
And even if the bough was sturdier and harvested of fruit
it would still fall
And even if the tree were mightier and heavier of root
it would still fall
As do we all
Take me to the opening where once our lives were joined
Gently hold me
My drum performs your heartbeat and my reed will find your voice
Tenderly come to me
And even if the bough was sturdier and harvested of fruit
It would still fall
And even if the tree were mightier and heavier of root
It would still fall
As do we all
oooooo
You have gone as the songbirds flown but my foot is caught in the reigns
You have gone but I am here alone and flowers fall like rain
And even if the bough was sturdier and harvested of fruit
It would still fall
And even if the tree were mightier and heavier of root
It would still fall
As do we all
Meet me at the precipice where earth and sky are joined
Gently hold me

Orange Dream

I took this flight so high on my chair tonight
The earth grows smaller fades away
A strong wind lifts me up and carries me around
There's no place else for me that I'd rather be.
And on this flight so high above I shiver
A cold rush running down my spine
Helplessly I fly up and away
There's no place else for me where I'd rather be.
I wonder how it seems to me
That I feel so near to you
It might just as well be a bit of steam
On my orange dream.
I took this flight so high on my chair tonight

There's no place else for me that I'd rather be.

That I feel so near to you
It might just as well be a bit of steam
On my orange dream.

Sleepwalk the Dog finally found each other in 2021 and have spent a year absorbed in writing, rehearsing, recording. They
have lived together in crumbling buildings, shot music videos, built worlds out of words and paper.
Their sound is undulating, gentle and experimental, mixing rich jazz-inspired vocal harmonies with soaring
melodies and folk storytelling. It's time to Sleepwalk the Dog
