Lyrics Jane Siberry

Jane Siberry

See The Child

A child was lost at sea today

Afloat on an ice floe

They floated away

A white cloud

A carpet

A white sleigh

See the child

That chases the dog

That jumps for the butterfly

Yeah, yeah

See the child

That chases the dog

That jumps for the butterfly

Yeah, yeah

See the yellow dress

On the child

That chases the dog

That jumps for the butterfly

Yeah, yeah

See the yellow dress

On the child

That chases the dog

That jumps for the butterfly

Yeah, yeah

See the blue sky

Behind the yellow dress

On the child

That chases the dog

That jumps for the butterfly

Yeah, yeah

See the blue sky

Behind the yellow dress

On the child

That chases the dog

That jumps for the butterfly

Yeah, yeah

See the sun up

High in the sky

Behind the yellow dress

On the child

That chases the dog

That jumps for the butterfly

Yeah, yeah

See the sun up

High in the sky

Behind the yellow dress

On the child

That chases the dog

That jumps for the butterfly

Yeah, yeah

See the grass growin'

Up to the bright sun up

High in the blue sky

Behind the yellow dress

On the child

That chases the dog

That leaps for his happiness

See the grasses growin' taller and taller and

Taller and taller and taller and taller

Until you cannot find the child that

Chases the dog that

Chases the dog that

Where is the child that?

Where is the child that?

And they say it was a, it was a yellow sun

And it was a blue sky

And it was a sweet child

And it was a happy dog

And the grass was a growin'

And the bees were a buzzin'

And through all this

The butterfly simply flies

Simply flies

It's the pull of life

It's the pull of life

It's the pull of life

It's the pull of life

Pull of life

Pull of life

Pull of life

Humble bee, humble bye

Humble dog, humble child

Humble grass, humble sky

Humble me, humble my

Humble earth's lullaby

Earth's lullaby, earth's lullaby

Lullaby, lullaby

Ohh, how time flies by

How time flies by

How time flies by

A child was lost at sea today

Afloat on an ice floe

They floated away

No one in the village will leave these shores

Until the child is safe once more

So if you see that child in someone's eyes

Bring us home
