lyrics

RESTLESS LULLABY

the bees are drunk on the sugar vein
the red heads and wild dizzy blonds
down town dreams of a city that don't sleep
now the world is turning on

I’m waiting waiting for dreams to come

the night’s still alive with fire flies
like stars shot from a gun
like sequins fallen from a bridal gown
now the wedding guests are gone

I’m waiting, I’m waiting for dreams to come

And the dust of days will dance away
circle the midnight sun
the world turns and your beauty burns
and I am dreaming on

I’m waiting , I'm waiting, don’t keep me waiting too long
I'll be waiting 'til kingdom comes
waiting too long, waiting too long

Dawn breaks to the morning chorus
creeping like outlaws in the dawn
the bird doctors are willing to cure us
with the songs of sleep to come

The dust of days will dance away
circle the midnight sun
the world turns and your beauty burns
and I am dreaming on
I’m waiting, I'm waiting

Just one time for one last lullaby
then I must be moving on, I’ve been waiting to be in your arms
waiting for good times to come
waiting, keep me waiting, waiting too long,
keep me waiting, waiting too long

The Desert Turkeys Folkestone, UK

The Desert Turkey's set comprises original songs/instrumentals; we are predominately a performing group.
The trio's intentions are to deliver music that is spirited and lyrical. Our playing is measured by a certain gritty, restrained melancholy - the music aims for a dynamic that is filmic and atmospheric.
Julian Whitfield: double bass, Bruce Allen: drums, Bernard Eveleigh: Spanish guitar/ vocals. ... more
