The Beautiful Land Of Nod.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. Aug 2000.

Come cuddle your head on my shoulder dear,
Your head like the golden rod,

And we will go sailing away from here,
to the Beautiful Land of Nod.

Away from life's hurry, and flurry, and worry,
Away from earth's shadows and gloom,

to a world of fair weather we'll float off together,
where roses are always in bloom.

Just shut up your eyes, and fold your hands,
Your hands like the leaf of a rose,

and we will go sailing to those fair lands,
that never an atlas shews.

On the North and the West they are bounded by rest,
On the South and the East by dreams,

'Tis the country ideal,
where nothing is real,
but ev'rything only seems!

Just drop down the curtain of your dear eyes,
those eyes like a bright bluebell,

and we will sail out under starlit skies,
to the land where the fairies dwell.

Down the river of sleep our barque shall sweep,
Till it reaches that mystical isle.

Which no man has seen, but where all have been,
and there we will pause awhile.

I will croon you a song as we float along,
to that shore that is blessed by God.

Then Ho! for that fair land, we're off to that rare land,
The Beautiful Land of Nod.
