Chinese White lyrics

The bent twig of darkness
Grows the petals of the morning;
It shows to them the birds singing
Just behind the dawning.
Come dip into the cloud cream lapping;
I can't keep my hand on the plough
Because it's dying.

But I will lay me down with my arms
Round a rainbow,
And I will lay me down to dream.
Oh, will your magic Christmas tree be shining
Gently all around?
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/i/incredible_string_band/chinese_white.html ]
Climbing up these figures
The sun is tugging at my shoulder.
And, every step I take,
I think my feet are getting older.
I see the crystal dreams unfolding,
I can't keep my eyes on the book because it's mouldring.

But I will lay me down with my arms
Round a rainbow,
And I will lay me down to dream.
Oh, will your magic Christmas tree be shining
Gently all around?
