Verse 1

Peering out of tiny eyes

The grubby hands that gripped the rail

Wiped the window clean of frost

As the morning air laid on the latch

New- Play with audio & scroll

Upgrade to play 20,000+ songs ads free, and enjoy playing with music.

Get now

Verse 2

A whistle awakened someone there

Next door to the nursery,

just down the hall

A strange new sound you never

heard before

A strange new sound that

makes boys explore

strange sounds that sing

In those silent happy seconds
