Einstein's Idea

Come let's be gentle, be soft in my arms

There's moonstorms been brewing and grain in the barns

Your mother is sleeping, I'll play my guitar

The twilight is keeping us close to the stars

Here's where the stories live, here with the peace

Oh the kindly ol' night wrapped warm in her fleece

Oh dream up a hot day, oh dream and be full

Of Orion, his bow, the plough and the bull

Oh, my darling

Go trust in their strength for these are your friends

And pledge in them now for their love knows no end

The bull looks a meanie but he's on your side

And he pulls the plough which comes and divides

Put space in the heavens, Einstein's idea

And he's your friend too, so nothing to fear

Orion'll help there, his darts find the dark

And all you need do is watch for his mark

Oh, my darling

The suns and the moons and the galaxies far

Were cast from his bow before they were stars

Oh and the gap in-between them is nothing to us

Our eyes cut the distance as loving eyes must

From me unto you son from dust unto dust

Oh, my darling
