[00:20.93]Grandma, my sleepless know
[00:25.12]that you bring me some strong drink
[00:29.56]Straighten out the pots and set them close outside
[00:33.94]for when my belly
[00:36.31]for when my little belly speaks
[00:39.06]Grandma, there's air beneath my bed
[00:43.44]and it whispers
[00:45.75]and it whispers when I rest
[00:47.94]with hemmed skirts
[00:49.44]and salt and vinegar, vinegar
[00:52.31]and water closely
[00:54.50]Oh, water closely underhead
[00:57.24]Grandma, the water is rising
[01:01.87]By now this hair has gotten green
[01:06.00]I'll be your swimming fodder starlet
[01:10.62]when you walk safely, safely
[01:14.68]over me
[01:24.75]Grandma, my hands have wondered
[01:29.19]and my legs
[01:31.18]my little legs are getting weak
[01:34.00]Bid, lend me your wispy frame
[01:37.93]and guard my powers
[01:40.00]guard my precious powers in its gate
[01:43.00]Grandma, I've been unruly
[01:46.00]
[01:47.49]in my dreams
[01:49.18]and with my speech
[01:51.74]Drill little holes into my eyelids
[01:54.99]that I might see you
[01:58.56]that I might see you when I sleep
[02:20.37]
[02:23.43]Grandmother, the water is rising
[02:26.31]By now this hair has gotten green
[02:31.99]I'll be your swimming fodder starlet
[02:36.43]and you walk safely, safely
[02:40.06]over me
[02:50.49]I'll be your swimming fodder starlet
