Little One - Elliott Smith

One more, little one

I’ll go down

Stay down

Sleep the rest of the day

Dream new

Music to calm down

Stay down

And keep evil away

I can hear you asleep

Changing your shape

Dissolved in some dream

As a new one appears

To take you along

Where you’ve never been

One, two

Three, four, five

Six, seven

The moonlight tonight

Seems to belong to me

Cause I

Even those who can’t sleep (Never go to sleep)

They need some company

One hit

Wouldn’t hurt a bit at all

Slow down (Stay down)

See what’s there to find (See what’s there today)

If it’s (If it’s)

Good shit you won’t know (gonna be)

And I won’t know (ok)

The fact that I’m dying (all done)

If I seem to be reckless with myself

It’s the fault of no one

All things have a place

Under the moon

As well as the sun

One more

Little one, I love you
