Leave Your SleepThe King Of China's Daughter lyrics by Natalie Merchant
(*Edith Sitwell)
[** Disc 1:]
The king of China's daughter*
So beautiful to see
With her face like yellow water
Left her nutmeg tree
Her little rope for skipping
She kissed and gave it me
Made of painted notes of singing-birds
Among the fields of tea
I skipped across the nutmeg grove
I skipped across the sea
But neither sun or moon, my dear
Has yet caught me
