Chorus Come sit under the Story Tree So many fruits there for you and for me Come sit under the Story Tree So many stories there for you and for me Verse 1 Hear tales of magic and tales of adventure Stories of wisdom and stories of treasure Stories to make you sit still and stare Stories to give you a bit of a scare Chorus Verse 2 Meet Sultans and pirates, peasants and Queens Mermaids, giants and talking trees Witches and warlocks and mythical creatures Serpents, frogs, lions and fleas Chorus

Sleep O babe, for the red bee hums the silent twilight's fall, Ayvan from the grey rock comes, to wrap the world in thrall. A LYAN-uh-van O my child, my joy, my love my heart's desire, The crickets sing you lullaby, beside the dying fire. Dusk is drawn and The Green man adorns the hills with rings of fog, SHEE-vra sails his boat till morn, upon the Starry Bog. A LYAN-uh-van O, the paly moon hath brimmed her cusp in dew, And weeps to hear the sad sleep-tune, I sing O love to you. Faintly sweet doth the chapel bell, ring o'er the valley dim, Sanctuary peasant voices swell, in fragrant evening hymn. A LYAN-uh-van O, the low bell rings, my little lamb to rest, And angel- dreams till morning sings, its music in your breast.

about

These award-winning, earth-loving tales and songs will inspire care for the environment, retain a child’s interest for years, stimulate a child’s imagination and shorten road trips.
This is the fifth album by Australian storyteller and singer, Jenni Cargill-Strong, which the whole family can enjoy. Settle in and listen to original and ancestral stories of whales and frogs, turtles and magic trees, interwoven with the relaxing sounds of nature. While each story has an environmental moral, none has a moralistic overtone.
Suitable for bed time listening. A must have for all families.
