Goodnight John Dee Lyrics - Grant Lee Buffalo

A simple tale of rich to rags 

But one that often comes to mind 

The seer that looked into the mirror 

And left his sleeping wife behind 

I said goodnight sir john dee 

Well light is a medicine to all of us 

With which we feed the silver lamb 

That walks beside the wolf of the trinity 

They say her teeth are made of sand 

I said goodnight john dee 

Goodnight 

A lantern swinging like a pendulum 

The shape of your smile's shadow appears 

To invoke the worst I reached into my purse 

And I took out the shew-stone gently 

And I said goodnight well goodnight john dee 

Goodnight well goodnight john dee 

Goodnight goodnight john dee 

Goodnight
