lyrics

in my great big room
i've a telephone
and a blue balloon
and a wishing well

where my bucket drops
and i pull the rope
and i hoist it high
to the air and sky

and i travel far
and i travel here
and i whisper hush
and i wish you well

there's a circle high
and a fireplace
and a chair to pray
and i'm everywhere

so goodnight to the noise
and the homes
and the nowhere people who
say goodnight to the stars
all above
and goodnight to you my love

in my great big room
i'm a wishing well
and i've traveled far
and i lay me down

in my chair i pray
to the air and sky
and i flicker dim
and i'm everywhere

so goodnight to the noise
and the homes
and the nowhere people who
say goodnight to the stars
all above
and goodnight to you my love
say goodbye to the storms
be they gone
may they move forever on
say goodbye to the skies
all above
and goodnight my love
here we are.
