about

"When my babies were little, there were many times that I fell asleep before they did. Laura (my wife) says that a breathing baby on your chest is the best way for a parent to fall asleep."
Solar Steve

lyrics

The fawn in the meadow like to play all day
But when the sun goes down they hear their mother say
Go and get your rest until the day breaks new
Now the fawn are fast asleep so why aren’t you

Into the night little rabbits stay awake
But even they go to sleep when the hour is late
They cuddle all together until the day breaks new
Now the rabbits in the grass
And the fawn are fast asleep, so why aren’t you

The squirrels jump and play in the old oak tree
But when the sun goes down they curl up in the leaves
All is still until the day breaks new
Now the squirrels are in the branches
And the rabbits in the grass
And the fawn are fast asleep, so why aren’t you

The crow above my garden teases me all day
Swoops down on my corn and I shoo him away
But when the sun goes down until the day breaks new
The crow rests in his nest
And the squirrels are in the branches
And the rabbits in the grass
And the fawn are fast asleep, so why aren’t you

You’ve had warm milk and I’m singing you this song
But I’ll be asleep before very long
Close you eyes and dream your dreams until the day breaks new
Now I’m sleeping by your side
As crow rests in his nest
And the squirrels are in the branches
And the rabbits in the grass
And the fawn are fast asleep, so why aren’t you

"The best thing about Banana Slug String Band albums? An adult can listen to them [i]almost[/i] as many times as the kids want them played and not experience an urge to strangle a purple dinosaur.
